Dear Ralph, how do you usually explain it? (one part in my explanation is to quote a couple of old German sayings, one of which translates to: If the dog would not have taken a shit he would have caught the rabbit...German: Wenn der Hund nicht geschissen hätte, hät er den Has gefangen) (The other one goes "Wenn das Wörtchen wenn nicht wär, wär mein Vater Millionär" which roughly goes like. If it were not for the word if my father would be rich)
You can easily see that I would certainly not leave this one off because there is usually a boistrous chuckle... As far as Harrisson losing his mind is concerned: there is definitely space in open space for losing your mind (or other things)...in the most recent os I facilitated just a week ago under the heading of "Adventure growing old...and that in a foreign homeland" one issue was "Be crazy" which definitely drew the largest crowd.
