"Well, it's nothing very special.  Try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat,
 read a good book every now and then, get some walking in and try and live
 together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations."
   Chapman/Cleese/Gilliam/Jones/Idle/Palin, 1983

Two holy men were seated under a tree. The seasons came and went. Finally,
one said, "You know, Life is like a Well." The seasons came and went. Then,
one day, the other said, "Just how is Life like a Well?" More seasons came
and went while the birds of the air built nests in the tree and reared their
young and the streams carved their way inexorably to the seas. At last the
first holy man replied, "Allright, damn it, Life <isn't> like a Well!"
