re: apologies macrae12/poyndexter/apology accepted A NDO parable:

One morning, Analyser was at home watching TV and eating peanuts while looking forward to discussing the merits of NDO at a mate's BBQ. He'd toss them in the air, then catch them in his mouth. In the middle
of catching one, his wife asked a question, and as he turned to answer her, a peanut fell in his ear.

He tried and tried to dig it out but succeeded in only pushing it in deeper. He called his wife for assistance, and after hours of trying they became worried and decided to go to hospital.

As they were ready to go out the door, their daughter came home with her date. After being informed of the problem, their daughter's date said he could get the peanut out. The young man told the Analyser to sit down, then shoved two fingers up the father's nose and told him to blowhard. When the Analyser blew, the peanut flew out. The mother and daughter jumped and yelled for joy.

The young man insisted that it was nothing and the daughter brought the young man out to the kitchen for something to eat. Once he was gone the mother turned to the Analayser. The mother said, "That's wonderful. Isn't he smart? What do you think he's going to be when he grows older?!" The Analyser replies, "From the smell of his fingers, our son-in-law!"

Moral of the story:

Time goes fast when monkey holds his peanuts for too long.
