My dear Miss Penni,

I have never said that I could "reason" or that I was "rational". As a matter of fact the opposite is true, as you should well know by now.

Twenty years ago I was a top notch reasoner and extremely rational.
These "skills" made me very unhappy because I was always searching for rational reasons to be reasonably rational and never found any.

I spent five years in intensive psycho-therapy to rid myself of reason
and rationality. I am a much happier person now that I am unable to reason or be rational.

Now I don't need a rational reason to put on my socks or whether it is rational to own forty pairs of socks.

Your unreasonable irrational friend,
Jim
