Surreal-Fiction

A new genre which contains characters, places, things, activities, events, and relationships which could not exist anywhere, primarily because they do not adhere to mathematics, science, logic, or reason and are simply impossible, but worthy of consideration. Its dialogues and/or monologues can be nonsensical and may contain non-sequiturs.

Inspired by the things and situations Dali and other surrealist painters and artists depicted starting in the 1920s, and hoping to surprise readers and sell many books, the writer began to invent and insert some surreal-fiction characters, places, things, and events into her story.

time-money

The term emphasizes the fact that money and time are often interchangeable because most individuals earn a per/hour salary. Because unavoidably it must be used recuperating and preparing for work eating, sleeping, on the toilet, showering dressing, shopping, visiting a doctor or dentist, resting, playing, time not used earning a salary is also "time-money".

Concise, logical, effective communication saves time-money, boosts productivity and happiness. Illogical, inconcise, wordy/redundant thus ineffective communication produces confusion, frustration, powerlessness, anger and unhappiness, and drains time-money. Depending on who the individual worker is, in a year the seconds lost as a consequence of inconcise, illogical, ineffective communication ad up to hours, days, weeks, or months. Multiplying that lost time by millions of workers in a nation adds up to years, and those years translate to lost profits and lower the GPA. Do corporations prefer to dumb (down) the masses to sell more products and more junk than to direct schools to teach students to communicate correctly? Look around.

The City Council approved the fellatio-prevented pregnancy method by signing a bill which directs the city's public high schools to give teenage girls mouth-on lessons on how to perform fellatio on mannequins appears to have persuaded sufficient teenage girls to sweet talk their boyfriend into ejaculating in their mouth instead of their vagina, because in the last 6-months the number of unwanted teenage pregnancies and also of abortions has sharply declined.
