Any Ancient Greek and Roman tragedy writers and philosophers … any intellectual within the calibre of the likes of Freud and Einstein on drugs of a hallucinatory effect – just to see what they’d be like on the other side, if they weren’t already using.Any man who doesn’t think he is in his own private cubicle of space whilst driving in a non-tinted vehicle and starts doing major excavation works to his nostrils – a scratch is acceptable, a hunt for dinner is not! Heard of tissues, or buying a more nutritious meal??! Cursed am I for being victimised to such visuals – that’s hardly what I call a scenic route.

Anyone who lives life with the essence of jocularity.
