Did you hear that?
I thought I heard something.
It was probably nothing.

This is a whimsical post following my more serious and introspective post. But perhaps I�0�9ll wax contemplative�0�7

Here�0�9s a quote from Kubrick�0�9s Full Metal Jacket:

COLONEL Marine, what is that button on your body armor?

JOKER A peace symbol, sir.

�0�7

COLONEL What is that you’ve got written on your helmet?

JOKER “Born to Kill,” sir.

COLONEL You write “Born to Kill” on your helmet and you wear a peace button. What’s that supposed to be, some kind of sick joke?!

JOKER No, sir.

COLONEL You’d better get your head and your ass wired together, or I will take a giant shit on you!

JOKER Yes, sir.

COLONEL Now answer my question or you’ll be standing tall before the man.

JOKER I think I was trying to suggest something about the duality of man, sir.

COLONEL The what?

JOKER The duality of man. The Jungian thing, sir.

COLONEL Whose side are you on, son?
