Humor: Lack of sanity

Lack of Sanity: not being sane. A person or persons lacking "all their marbles, so to speak." That's me being qualified by my one semester of psychology, many moons ago.

Can you give the name of just one person that is actually sane? Considering all the events going around globally ( you know, all around the world), are even Presidents, Kings, Queens( no pun intended ) , seriously, is there one person on this whole earth that isn't just stressed out to the Max?

We went to the circus, even the clown was nervous! The elephants, as big as they were, didn't look too thrilled. And those gigantic Giraffes, gosh, they were going in all kinds of circles, and even they got confused about it.

Just tell a couple my maiden name-they look at each other knowingly. Gosh, how far back does this stuff go? Generations already know who you are and what you're gonna be doing, just by the name you were given at birth.

I really wonder what my little old great-grandma did in her day. Mention the little town she was from, and people can say, oh, yeah, we know what those people were up to back then. My sister had a nervous habit of twisting her hair around in her fingers-you really have to wonder what was going through her mind when she did that.

Even the little kids, just a bit past toddler size-they come up and ask about, "Are the monsters gonna get us?" "Well, honey, there aren't really any monsters in the kitchen." "Oh, yeah, well, did you see what was in there in the dark last night, my friend?"

I'm still waiting to see how they diagnose me.
