During my short-lived career as a stand-up comic, I had a catchphrase which was not unique to me, but which I made so much my own thru my brilliance that everyone who saw me remembered it forever more as mine…
Well, I created a new phrase and thanks to Google am happy to report that only three other people have thought of it!
Alright you ready?….
IGNORANCE IS SANITY!
So, its like ignorance is bliss, but its a bit more realistic…let’s say educative; suggesting some information is best left unknown. Like, I wish I hadn’t seen Saving Private Ryan. I think I can respect the horror of war and what men and women went through to maintain our freedom, without having to be traumatized myself with such disturbing images.
Other catchphrase users:
1) Keith Lyons, poet extraordinaire, uses it in his infamous poem “Crying Alone In A Crowded Room.”
2) A blogger on http://www.abovetopsecret.com/forum/thread37240/pg1
3) An unknown writer of House fan fiction in part 2 of Foolish Hearts.
Oh, to be in the company of such greatness!
