Deep thoughts postcards

Postcards You Will Never Send

If you love Jack Handey's humor, here it is in a different format. Unfortunately, he cracks me up so much I can't bear to part with any of the postcards. ;-)

Who do we need to bother to get this book back in print?

I'll come right out with it. I love Jack Handey. Is he insane? Fortunately, yes. Is he outrageous? Ridiculous? Completely outside? ABSOLUTELY!!! Which is why we ALL love him! And which is also why we keep a stack of "Deep Thoughts," "Deeper Thoughts," "Deepest Thoughts," and "Fuzzy Memories," in the guest bathroom. If your 'guest' is "PLU" (People Like Us), we know they're not going to be coming out of that bathroom any time soon... And when they do come out? Expect them to be ready for any and all things deep!(You may also just want to check and make sure they don't steal your books. You don't know them THAT well... And besides, YOU still steal things sometimes...)THIS IS A VERY IMPORTANT LITMUS TEST! Pay Careful Attention: What if someone you know doesn't 'get' Jack Handey? (Wha?)Sadly, it HAS happened... In Papua New Guinea, once; He's not real popular on Easter Island, either. He doesn't translate well in Rapa Nui, apparently. Anyway, just LISTEN, WILL YOU?! JEEZ!Tell you what. You run across someone who doesn't 'get' Jack Handey? You should be grateful. You just potentially saved yourself untold grief, time, and effort by weeding out an acquaintance who, as it turns out, IS NOT "PLU." You may now, with a clear conscience AND in proud possession of a highly evolved sense of humor, my friend, eliminate this person now and forever from your Christmas Card List! Simplify your life. (Who WAS that person, anyway?! And who invited them?!?) (And by now, HELLO! Who Cares?)Which brings us now to the most IMPORTANT point: The Book of Postcards is apparently "out of print." This is a most unfortunate massive BUMMER. I would like to suggest that we put some pressure on Universal Press Syndicate, or Jack himself (but in a really nice, cool way, like, "Hey, dude, we really like your stuff! So, can you, like, talk to those folks in Kansas City about printing some more postcards? 'Cause they're all out, Man!!!) Because, Damn it! Somebody's GOT to do SOMETHING!!!How about these classics:"If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, 'cause man, they're gone!" (Genius.)Or, how about the one where he says he doesn't think clowns are funny - in fact they're kinda scary. (He doesn't know why, but he thinks it might go back to the time he went to the circus and a clown killed his dad!) That's Utterly Priceless!!! (I can NOT tell that with a straight face.)Or how about, "It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a BIGGER man to LAUGH at that man!" Brilliant.In closing, I just want to say that I wholeheartedly agree with Jack on one of his more serious issues: It really is too bad that whole families have to be torn apart by something as simple as wild dogs.Jack Handey was my best friend, Ed Olson,'s favorite humorist. Ed Olson, who left this planet August 16, 2003 (but will never ever be forgotten), was a HOOT, and he LOVED Deep Thoughts. For Ed's birthday, year before last, I made color copies of my

I have never laughed so hard.

These postcards are the absolute funniest you will EVER see. I just read through them and laugh when i need a pick-me-up and my long-distance friends can't get anough of them. Jack Handey is hysterical!
