+# Tiny and unwise
+
+A log of silly ideas with a kernel of wisdom.
+The older you get, the less people believe you have created something new.
+They assume you remembered it from somewhere and forgot where it came from.
+This file is the receipts.
+
+Format: dated entry, the idea, the kernel.

+
+**Tequila Mockingbird.**
+Independently created.
+A bar name pun on Harper Lee.
+Kernel: the canon eats every joke eventually, and the only proof you got there first is to have written it down on the day.
+
+**Careless Whisper is a fart.**
+The saxophone riff as flatulence.
+Kernel: shame and exposure are baked into the lyric ("guilty feet have got no rhythm"), so the fart reading is structurally consistent. The song is, on a charitable read, *about* a fart.
