Bang the gong and give the lady with the red hair a see-gar!!
That's it!! Try to seek goodness within yourself and around
you and you will be working your way towards enlightenment,
the divine, whatever name you want to attach to it. It's
the opposite of having "the truth" or "the rules" handed
down to you...instead you're working your way up to it.
I trust I've made myself totally obscure. *whew!* I'm
beginning to feel like Cliff on Cheers here. Lainey and
Vita have passed out with boredom and tequila underneath
the pool table, and I hate to drink alone...so pour yourself
a noggin of squeezin's, girl, and we'll discuss the Divine
Mysteries of the Loincloth!
