Bigger Than Yeezus Part 0: Ye Can Be Heroes
Ye can be heroes?

There is the story of the Artist in the train who saw another
Artist carrying a basket of unusual shape. His curiosity mastered
him, and he leant across and said: "Say, stranger, what you got in that
bag?" The other, lantern-jawed and taciturn, replied: "Mongoose". The
first man was rather baffled, as he had never heard of a mongoose.
After a pause he pursued, at the risk of a rebuff: "But say, what is a Mongoose?" "Mongoose eats snakes", replied the other. This was another
poser, but he pursued: "What in hell do you want a Mongoose for?" "Well,
you see", said the second man (in a confidential whisper) "my brother
sees snakes". The first man was more puzzled than ever; but after a long
think, he continued rather pathetically: "But say, them ain't real
snakes". "Sure", said the man with the basket, "but this Mongoose ain't
real either".
