There was this little old lady in Pasadena who heard about a hermit
who lived in the mountains of Bombay who knew all the knowledge of
the Universe.  She decided to hop on an airplane to visit this guru.
After arriving in Bombay she spent days climbing the mountain on
which he lived.  When she reached the cave in which the hermit lived
she met the hermit's assistant; he said, "I'm sorry, but the hermit
only talks to people on the 3rd Tuesday of each month; this is the
3rd Wednesday."  So the little old lady had to set up camp on the
mountainside for a whole month.  

When the third Tuesday of the next month arrived there was a line of
pilgrims a mile long.  She waited hours in line to see the hermit.
When she finally made it through the line, and it was her turn to
see the hermit she said, "Irving, my son, come back home.  We miss
you."
