Nuns On The Run And Captain Nemo
I have had a number (2) of posts of various things on the run recently.
This is all due to the wonderful Nuns on the Run film, starring Eric Idle and Robbie Coltrane.
I propose Montag's Paradox:
(x) { If x is 'on the run', THEN the situation is inherently funny}
which reads, for the logically challenged, "For all x, if x is on the run, it is usually good for a laugh."
Captain Nemo enters here, pursued by a bear.
The Captain's motto was "Mobilis in mobile". This translates to "Changing with Change" or "Keeping up with Change" or something along those lines.
I usually amend it to read "Semper Mobilis Sub Ubi in Mobile". This translates to "Always Changing Underwear in Mobile (Alabama)"
The good Captain was himself "on the run".
It wasn't funny, as I recall.
Hence, the Paradox. Get it?
