he he he... actually that should be
"A little nonsense now and then, is cherished by the wisest men."
- Roald Dahl, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory
At least that is how I recall it. But I have also seen it quoted the other way (now that I went looking for it). I guess I need to go dig out the book (it HAS to be around here somewhere, but it might be in storage).
Roald Dahl, now there is an author... stuff for kids and stuff for adults (I need to find more of his stuff for adults).
I don't think that I will ever forget the concept of "human beans" and soda pop with bubbles that go down!
