The dead man \ +was a boyscout once, and tied a lot of knots. \ +His favorite was the one with the rabbit \ +and the hole, and the rabbit going in and out \ +and around the tree. The dead man liked it \ +because he liked to pretend that the rabbit \ +was running from a fox, and the rabbit \ +always ended up safe, back in his hole. -- cgit 1.4.1-21-gabe81
