Teh Bean Breakthrough
3:43 PM . I'm sitting. Not necessarily relaxing you see. I have fallen prey to thinking. Ah, but what am I thinking? Is it possible to think absently ? Almost as if my thoughts were covered by large multi-colored parachute like tarps. Like the ones covering the ever lasting gobstopper machine in Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory. I know its working, I just can't see specifically what is working. There are things I should most definitely be thinking about or of. I want to be doing so much more. Like learning the noble skills of the amateur magician. Speed walking to the mailbox while the mail man is stretching out his letter laden hands, only to stop halfway leaving him frustrated. So I decided to do some research on a subject that has plagued me for years, but more recently this week. I had a breakthrough. Please excuse the spelling. At the beginning of any Mr. Bean episode, Bean falls from a pillar of light onto the street. When this happens a choir begins to sing. I've always wanted to know what they were singing, it's in Latin I think. I finally found it out and I laughed sooooo hard when I did. " Ecce homo vie es faba." Which means! "Behold the man who is a bean."

This is indeed a breakthrough of prodigious proportions. Galvanized by your scholarly interest, I embarked upon a Bean-inspired quest of my own. I DRVed Mr. Bean on the Spanish channel. Of course it's Senior Bean to them. I haven't the spleen to watch it yet. I am awaiting my shipment of rubber trousers. Cautious in the face of discovery...so cautious.
