“Maharishi [Transcendental Meditation guru] was asked his opinions of Jesus Christ.  He had some.  He prefaced them with this dependent clause:  ‘From what people have told me about Him –’

“Here was a man who had unselfishly spent years of his life in American and northern European hotel rooms, teaching Christians how to save the world.  There had to be Gideon Bibles in most of those rooms.  Yet, Maharishi had never opened one to find out what Jesus said, exactly.

“Some searching mind.”  ~stolen quoted from Wampeters, Foma & Granfalloons (Opinions) by Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.

Dum de dum.  Having gotten that rather obscure quote liberated, I had to laugh at my own old entry here… although in a way it was NOT funny to read this part, “Oh, and the other good news is that I haven’t heard that any of my friends were in terrible car crashes. ” because Antion did crash less than a week later.  That was odd.  But, both he and his sister were okay.  :)  Anyway, it was a funny post.
