Completely useless

by Sisman Tuccar.In Non-sense and other improprieties.

One day a man came to see Sisman Tuccar at the teahouse and complained, “This thing that’s between what’s already gone and what hasn’t yet arrived is completely useless. There’s absolutely nothing I can do with it.”
Replied Sisman, “The best things are always useless.”
