Harlan Ellison-ism

(edit 5/30/14 - I'm too smart for my own good. I can't remember why I wrote that. I'm sure I thought it was very clever at the time but not clever enough to take getting older into account. Well, I did a quick search but couldn't find anything. I'll leave it here, maybe some day it will come to me, or I'll run across something about it. I've got myself curious now.)
