Sanity is Overrated


The other day I was sitting in my therapist’s office discussing the pros and cons of aardvark juggling and the correlation between the interactions of subatomic particles as they relate to Tom and Jerry when Jerry hit’s Tom in the face with an iron. Oddly, his partners came in and put him in this nice white sport coat with the sleeves that buckle in the back. Why do my therapists always end up like that? Before they took him away to his nice new room with padding on the floors, walls, ceilings and toilet seats, we both agreed that sanity is overrated.

I think we need to consider the benefits of a healthy level of insanity.


  • If you are barking like a Pekinese in heat, people tend to let you have the elevator all to yourself.
  • When you show up to weddings wearing a wetsuit and a bowtie, no one complains due to the fear that you will lick their elbows.
  • Walking in the convenience store backwards with a potbelly pig under one arm and a coconut in your other hand, they aren’t surprised when you buy all their tapioca and motor oil. They are surprised if you don’t.
  • Skipping through a minefield in a pink mini-skirt and a Terminator leather jacket makes the explosions even more entertaining.
  • Insanity can help you be more successful in your chosen field of work if you are an executioner, a turkey stuffer or a member of Congress.
  • You frequently get to hang out with your former therapist as you compare who has the nicer straightjacket.


I hope these have helped you discover that questioning your sanity is not necessary. Embracing your insanity is what you need to be doing each and every day that they let you have pudding with your meds.
