| | The Younger Brother | 1fatts 10/15/2007 | Story goes like this: There were two brothers who worked together in business. They were liars, cheats, devious, cruel and unprincipled. When the elder of the two died, the clergyman called to give the eulogy found himself in a quandary: he did not want to lie, but, on the other hand, he could find no one who had anything whatever positive to say about the deceased. People he spoke to could not stop themselves from going on and on about how repugnant the man had been ethically, socially, morally, personally and professionally. The best the clergyman could come up with in his eulogy was: "No one I spoke to had a single bad word to say about him."
As luck would have it, however, within a few weeks, the younger brother died as well. While he was also universally despised, he had simply not lived long enough to achieve the level of detestability that his older brother had mastered.
This proved the salvation of the poor clergyman, who could begin his eulogy with, "This was a man that we even more beloved than his older brother."
Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer is an even better film than the first Fantastic Four. |
