Remember the Seinfeld episode where Elaine couldn’t figure out what the New Yorker cartoon meant? (I typed the caption in below because it wasn’t reading well in my crummy scan job.) “Well, all I can say, sir, is that it’s a darn good thing for Barton, Franklin, Battersby, Klempstein & Pierce that you decided not to become a Zen monk!”
