Looking at the same moon?

Leo, an armchair astrologer, made the bright observation that we are all looking at the same moon and sun. It doesn't matter where we are in the universe. We may be sipping lemonade on a porch in Arkansas or playing checkers in a field in Budapest. The reality is that our gaze upwards focuses on the same object more or less. Leo believed that his observation was sheer brilliance and that his statement had no platitudinous weight. Human beings look upwards to see the same sun and moon. Case closed as far as Leo was concerned. He then resumed drinking his tap water to assure that the fluoride got a hold of his pearly whites.

I agreed with Leo that we are all subject to the same big sun and moon. These objects have been existence long before we were alive and will continue to shine long after our deaths. However, I posed a simple question to Leo: Are we all looking at the same asshole? Leo's answer was shocking and not the shocker that I was expecting. He said resoundingly that we are all looking at different assholes although their form may have the shape of a retarded star. The asshole that my brother views may be in direct contrast to the asshole that Leo sees on a typical Saturday night after a night out at a favorite watering hole. Let's just hope that they have something in common, namely, that cleanliness is part of their asshole game. A dirty asshole is the true shocker as far as Leo was concerned on that starless night.
