Why, thank'ee, Clay -- took the words right out of my mouth.  However, on to
the subject at hand:

Lemme just make sure I understand this.  THIS is your concept of poetry and
profound philosophy?

	"Win or lose, nought to choose, all men are equal  
	 when their memory fades. No one knows, friends or 
	 foes, if Valhalla lies beyond the grave."         

Riiiiight.  Next, please?

Uh, err, umm, Valhalla.  Big place up in the clouds, held up by a big ash
tree with a funny name?  Yggdrasil -- yeah, that's it.  Got a fancy bridge
named Beef Roast or some such, and fat broads with steel tits that carry
dead Vikings in and out?  I think I read about that once.  Maybe in Edith
Hamilton.  No, I guess it was Marvel Comics.  Anyway.

For penance, you are hereby condemned to listen to Jethro Tull's _A Passion
Play_ over and over until you can explain the religious significance of the
Story of the Hare Who Lost His Spectacles.  This will be an essay test.
There is no time limit.  Do not turn the page until your proctor tells you
to do so.
