I would like to think Bill is agreeing with my observation that the "butter lamp" glyph is actually a stylized representation of a spaceship, proving that khukuris originated long ago in a galaxy far, far away ... or my observation that the fact that the three new kamis have no names proves they are actually Aliens Among Us, or my observation that etiquette varies from planet to planet -- but I know better.
Alas, like all those considered lunatics by hidebound posterity, I am a misunderstood genius in my own time. Wait ... is there something wrong with that last sentence? No ... I guess not ... it looks okay to me ... okay, like all those considered lunatics I am a misunderstood genius. My work is too original to be accepted in my own time. The Khukuri Establishment is too hidebound and set in their ways to learn anything new. Bill was only agreeing with my observation about Right Speech, and there's nothing original about that; the Buddha said that 2,500 years ago.
But MY ideas -- my ORIGINAL ideas -- are TOO original for the Khukuri Establishment. I'm too radical for them! But can you refute me -- can you look at that "butter lamp" and honestly say it doesn't look like a spaceship? Can you honestly say you have ever heard of three HUMAN men -- EARTHLING men -- coming into a shop and applying for jobs and when they are asked their names -- they don't have any???
Let me put that another way -- have you ever been approached by three men looking for jobs and asked their names and they told you they don't have any names -- and then investigated and found out they were perfectly ordinary earthling-type human beings just like you and me? No? Then how can you deny the plain truth?!?
WHY won't the Khukuri Establishment ask those three "men" to show their birth certificates? Could it be the Khukuri Establishment is afraid they won't
have any birth certificates? How do we know those three "men" were even born -- they might have hatched from eggs you know! You don't believe it? Then why can't you show me their birth certificates?
If the Khukuri Establishment ever works up their nerve and asks those three "men" for their birth certificates, examine them closely. First, count them -- they might be marsupials with two birth certificates each -- the second one for when they emerged from the pouch. (Astrology is complicated for marsupials, by the way.)
More later -- gotta go -- some men in white coats are knocking at my door -- they seem to be butterfly hunters; they have nets anyway....
