ML, you remind me of a couple of favorite anecdotes.

1) I occassionally see a bumper sticker that says "Time spent fishing cannot be deducted from a man's life." Love it, even though I don't fish myself.

2) Years ago I read a little piece about a guy taking a class in sailing. He said the instructor came into the classroom and said "I've written something on the board. Read it, and then tell me if you don't understand it, and I'll give you your money back and you can go; no harm, no foul." So he read the board and all it said was "I can teach a man how to sail. I can't teach him why."
