As a kid in the late 1950s I just loved the book entitled The Incompleat Pogo.
Particularly the chapter that involving a pelican called Roogy Batoon successfully peddling his cure for snake bites in a snake-free swamp ("Fortunately for you, I also brought some snakes").
That riposte, along with Harold Wilson's "a week's a long time --- in politics " appealed to the cynical side of my personality.
I didn't really expect to ever come across someone real with that much chutzpah but unexpectedly, I did.
And a nicer human being you could never meet.
