conversation in zippy's world:

Uncle Jesus: I'm back down to earth! HA! HA!

me: Oh yeah? where are you now?

Uncle Jesus: I'm not in a bar, it's not a bar. HA! HA! I'm in the deli having a ham sandwich. They're great here.

me: Cool.

Uncle Jesus: Well, everyone thought I was in need of psychiatric care, but I'm back now HA! HA!

me: Where'd you go?

Uncle Jesus: I had to go deep within myself to fight the demons that were there, and I've returned with a greater understanding of the universe. The book you're going to help me write is coming along.

me: ...

Uncle Jesus: It's about the meaning of life, and what exactly that is.

me: Oh yeah?

Uncle Jesus: Do you have any idea what the meaning of life is?

me: Not a clue.

Uncle Jesus: Do you want to know what the meaning of life is?

me: ... ... sure ...

Uncle Jesus: I've discovered that every single thing we do is either to preserve life or to destroy it. That's what I'm writing about now - what you're going to help me write about - that in each of us lies the capacity to save humankind or to destroy humankind.

me: You mean good vs evil.

Uncle Jesus: But more than that. I'm talking about the yin and yang, only deeper.

me: So, for thousands of years Budha's been wrong?

Uncle Jesus: Not wrong, just not right. But I've figured it out and we're going to build this into a multi-million dollar empire.

me: Have you been reading Tony Robbins again?

Uncle Jesus: Powerful stuff, that man.

me: How's that ham sandwich?

Uncle Jesus: Terrific!
