Why Do I?
Why do I go on doing these things?
Why not cease?
Is it that you are yet in this world of welterings
And unease,
And that, while so, mechanic repetitions please?
When shall I leave off doing these things?--
When I hear
You have dropped your dusty cloak and taken your wondrous wings
To another sphere,
Where no pain is: Then shall I hush this dinning gear.
- Thomas Hardy
"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat, "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."

Jamaica, Queens.
Me: (is in Jamaica)
Me: (takes picture)
Cop: Why are you taking a picture of a mailbox?
Me: There's no law against taking pictures in public.
Cop: I know that, but why are you taking a picture of a mailbox?
Me: It's not a mailbox. See?
Cop: (looks at sticker that says "Syringes Only! No Mail")
Cop: Why would you want a picture of that?
Me: I'm weird.
Cop: (shrugs, walks away)
