Hilarity thy name is
Mr. T.
From the link:
So I said to Mr. T.,
“You promised me, Mr. T,
that if I followed you,
you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during
the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one
set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most,
you have not been there for me?”
And Mr. T. replied,
“What’s this jibba-jabba?!
The times when you have seen
only one set of footprints in the sand
is when I carried you, foo!”
Worth noting:
Arthur C. Clarke passed away last week. His death was almost at the exact time that an enormous gamma ray burst that happened 7.5 billion years ago reached our lonely planet. It has been suggested that this event be named the
Clarke Event.
