Speaker's ToolsWe're back and we're working on the Reverse joke. Basic principle of the Reverse joke is that you have to look at the world very simply. You must understand cause and effect. You must first form the habit of clearly observing actions in their normal or logical order or relationship.
Now, remember what I said in the beginning when we were dealing with automobiles. We put down some normal actions like you see a red light and you step on the break. You get pulled over my a cop and you get a ticket. Drive over a nail and get a flat tire.
It's important to look very simply, very clearly. Forget about cars, forget about everything.
