From "The Systemic Amazement Factorial"©

When experiencing boredom, confronted by boredom, or are having boredom delivered directly into your core existence, we suggest using the Master Phrase, "Whatever".
Try saying that now.
Very Good.

Boredom Test: If you watch the entire video, you are probably bored.

Please use extreme caution with this Master Phrase as its sheer power may overwhelm many. We suggest alternating the Master Phrase with a simple shrug of the shoulder (see above).
Good luck with that.

I wasn't compelled to use a pertinent image, so I just picked this one.
It's kind of cool. I guess.




“I didn’t expect His Holiness to have that down-to-earth quality,” he said. “I understand that more and more: holiness and practicality are not separate.
When something is down to earth, it means something is relevant.”
Nicholas Vreeland on the Dalai Lama
