Now Janice.. feeling better? Just take it easy, word. by. word... these Nips can be devilish subtle with their Pearls... the original, by the wise old philosopher-poet, Da-Tsun To Yo-Ta (humble apologies, Master, for uncouth translation) is a masterpiece of literary compression and a model of social responsibility. The Master is explaining that the tradition custom always to bow low, lower, lowest, to one's superiors may be unwise when driving big Japanese off-road in vicinity of company car-park; the Way may be endangered...Janice ? ...Janice...? She's dozed off again....
