My friend and fellow astronomy professor Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz recommended that I do a Google Search for "John Cleese Creativity." I'm so glad I did! The advice offered by Cleese is clear, concise and brilliant:
me: "owen, come here. it's time to get a new diaper" him, sprinting down the hall with no pants on: "forget about it!" he's quoting benny the rabbit, a short-lived sesame street character who happens to be in his favorite "count with me" video. i'm turning my head, trying not to let him see me laugh, because his use and tone with the phrase are so spot-on.
