After you leave (i.e., become ex-student of) school, one of the first things you notice is that the world has no point.
Which is absolutely fine, because it is a sphere anyway.

One of the funny things about being in space without a spacesuit is the way your entrails explode. Of course, if the “your” happens to be literal, then it loses some of its potential to amuse. This explosion, in theory, should be the opposite of the implosion that should/would/could occur if you were at a considerable depth in the sea without protective apparel.

But, that is beside the point. The point, to be precise, is that there is no point. Therefore, a point has to be made for it to exist.

Thusly, I shall make a point.
At this point, you may argue that the sharp contour which induces pain and elicits an expression conveying pain which might be far too vulgar to reproduce here, and yet may not be so, is a point. In oral tradition since time immemorial, a ‘point‘ is regarded much as the definition above, except that it is not a contour but is rather an idea or a statement. Also, the sensation may not necessarily be pain.

Making a point and defining it are, though they would appear to be the same because definition is creation, entirely different acts which follow distinctly different procedures.

Seeing as I have strayed from the point of making a point, I see a way of making it in the simplest of ways.

The point people, is that I have made a point, which is the point itself.

P.S.:
I realise I have used the word point so many times that I decided to bold it every time it has appeared above the P.P.S., just to point it out. I would also like to say that at this point, the word point has inexplicably lost all meaning for me, hence the P.P.S.

P.P.S.:
The American Heritage® Dictionary of the English Language, Fourth Edition, gives 46 different meanings of the word “point”, considering its use as either noun or verb.

In my infinite wisdom concentrated into a point(?) so dense that you would discard the whole idea of wisdom and just call me dense, I have decided to replicate every definition below.
