...PROBABLY started laughing at the loser in grade school gym class--you know, the kid who could never do a somersault without slipping on his shoelaces on the uptake. He had banana peel appeal. By the time he hit high school he'd mastered the art of the somersault and maybe even a cartwheel but when it came to girls he'd usually slip off his social shoelaces just often enough to give the cool kids a yuk or two. Well, losers grow up and when they start making their first twenty or thirty thousand, people stop laughing at them...

I don't want to hear anything more about Peter Fonda in Easy Rider--George the hairdresser is more interesting and significant if we're talking about...
...Testament remained a formidable challenge to the critics. At the beginning of the 20th century, liberal scholars were still trying to peel back layers of the miraculous and the mythical to find out what the historical Jesus really taught. The Jesus that some of the searchers found was a mild-mannered ethical preacher, definitely not God incarnate. But Missionary-Philosopher Albert Schweitzer suggested that the real Jesus would be an embarrassment, that he had been a misguided fanatic who proclaimed an imminent apocalypse and died to bring it about...
