Gerry often tells a parable from his sociology days about the Citizen who complains to the Commandant that his neighbor has a pig and he does not.
Commandant: "Oh, Comrade Citizen, would you like me to get you a pig such as your neighbor has?"
Citizen: "Oh, no thank you, Sir. I ask only that you shoot my neighbor's pig, to insure that he has no more than I do."
"Do any human beings ever realize life while they live it? -- every, every minute?"
