Christ,

It's a good thing the third wife has been away this weekend at a National Guide 
Dog for the Blind training school (with her new minature poodle) as she would 
have realised my manic laughter caused by DMB's latest post (pasted below) was 
even a little bit more manic than usual.

Hopefully by Monday (with the usual exhaustive Sunday lie-in with wife number 
one) I will have calmed down enough to sound relatively normal.  It's also a 
good thing wife number two is here so she can concoct a good story for why I 
won't be going round for Sunday Dinner with my folks.  They don't like me as it 
is without me cracking-up throughout one of their carefully prepared dinners... 

Too close to call!

Andre related to John Carl March 1st 2014:

And here Anthony tells us the trials and tribulations he has with his three 
wives...which inspired me to suggest the following: I have finally taken up the 
courage to present the MoQ in a public forum. People of note have been invited 
to attend and lo and behold: they are there. I'm a bit nervous and start the 
lecture on the shortfalls of SOM philosophies. Their attention is roused and I 
am about to launch into the MoQ proper when...oh no...I have to have a shit! 

----cut----
 
DMB then hilariously misquoted Pirsig on the topic!:
 
"The 'value' that holds a porcelain toilet bowl together and the 'value' that 
holds a philosophy lecture together are obviously not the same thing. Therefore 
to say that the world is nothing but value is just confusing, not clarifying.   
 Now this vagueness is removed by sorting out values according to levels of 
evolution. The value that holds a toilet bowl together is an inorganic pattern 
of value. The value that holds a lecture together is an intellectual pattern of 
value. They are completely different from each other because they are at 
different evolutionary levels. And they are completely different from the 
biological pattern that can cause the most sceptical of intellectuals to leap 
onto the toilet bowl."  (Pirsig, LILA, Chapter 12)
