John Cleese would love it red.

I've nearly finished reading his autobiography. Rather than being one continuous laugh, it is more like the story of John Cleese, the person and some people he met and things he did. In fact when introducing one sketch and justifying its inclusion on the grounds that he likes it, he writes that those who bought this book expecting a joke a minute would be disappointed and it was his ***** book and he'd write what he wanted.

 

However one of my favourite quotes (and I've even dog eared the page and I *never* do that to books) is funny. He has funded research into the intelligence of cats and the report came back, "Cats are very intelligent at all the things that cats need to be intelligent at."

 

I definitely think this applies to people. In 2016, there was a story about a woman who was going to sail unaided to the South Pole. On the journey she would face waves five storeys high .... yep ... five stories high. And she hates the cold and gets sea sick. *

 

It's the cat intelligence story. If there are nine intelligences, as has been proposed, then she has a different one from mine. But I hope she has the one she needs.

 

John Cleese would love it.
