I'm sick and tired of hearing big stuff LAST!

The Law of First Telling


I don’t know about you, but there’s something that really bugs me. I don’t think I’ve ever heard anybody else address it, but they should have. Since they haven't, I will!   I have  entitled it:

 

“The Law of First Telling”

 

 

The Undeniable fact is: All sharing of significant communication is accompanied by varied levels of intensity, interest, and intangible nonverbal expression.

 

The Undeniable fact is: All sharing of significant communication is accompanied by a decrease in emotional energy and desire to repeat the narrative. Each successive telling contains a measurable drop off in Blood Pressure, Boiling Point, and Basic Protocol.

 

The Undeniable fact is: I’m getting sick and tired of hearing secondhand, thirdhand, and fourthhand information. Every Tom, Dick, and Harry, hears about it before I do.       By the time it gets to me: "Who Gives a Rip."

This has got to       STOP!

 

Therefore: All cherished ,consequential, communication, (both, positive and negative), must be dispensed FIRST to the person with the most to gain or lose. Typically, the first recipient would be the narrator’s spouse or most significant other.

 

 

If the primary recipient becomes aware of a transgression  of this: (“The Law of First Telling”), the narrator must submit to the dispensing of the recipient's physical pleasure of choice.    Example: Rubbing of the back.

 

Due to the nature of this crime and nurture of the cure, this law is here by remanded to the Supreme Court of the United States. Bypassing the historical precedents of Congress, Senate, and Presidential signing into law. Due to some of the craziness we are seeing in government these days, the Supreme Court shall seize upon this opportunity to rule this law both constitutional and irrevocable.
