after a few minutes of this, which was a lot of fun for all involved, one student, an extortionist/blackmailing/confidence-trickster by trade, had a serious question and posed it thus:
'but sir,' said he, addressing the Tibetan Buddhist class instructor, 'i do recall one time in Louisiana eating dog, it was a case of IN and ATE and DOG.'
The Tibetan Buddhist turned on his heel and raised his forefinger on a crooked elbow dramatically and pointed at the dog-eater... 'excellent!' he said, 'and it doesn't matter where you ate dog -- it could have been in Timbuctoo! the important thing is that you ate dog.
By now everyone was getting confused, was he saying the guy ate dog or was he saying the guy ate whatever and then calling him dog familiarly afterwards....
'The point is,' said the Tibetan, 'the Truth is the Law which is not man-made and inalterable, its manifestation make take different forms.'
