THE EX-THEORY CORNER READER


THE CONSEQUENCES OF NOT CHECKING THEORY CORNER EVERY DAY: A TRUE STORY

The reckless artist/computer user lapses from his Theory Corner routine. He views the site less and less as the months roll by. With the added time he's "saved" he takes to drink. His wife demures but he insists she take a "little sip."


 Devoid of the intellectual stimulation they took for granted on Theory Corner, and now being habituated to the bottle, the couple is unemployable. The wife is forced to take in washing.


With insufficient money to pay the bills, the family's furniture is repossessed. The dissolute artist consoles himself with mindless YouTube videos about funny house cats. His mind deteriorates.


 His wife and children are forced to take to the streets and beg.


 Now they face eviction. The children go to bed hungry. Even the computer has to be sold. They're bereft even of cat videos.


 Driven by alcohol, the ex-Theory Corner reader blames his wife for his problems. He treats her roughly.


 She sees no way out. On the waterfront a cry is heard in the middle of the night.


 Finally the trembling, emaciated artist winds up in a lunatic asylum, sans wife, sans children, sans everything. All day long he mutters to himself, "Theory Corner... Theory Corner... Theory Corner...."

A WORD TO THE WISE IS SUFFICIENT.
