bonk

lyrics from the beatles' "maxwell's silver hammer" popped inside my head at the popal demise. now they are stuck inside my head. thanks john and paul. and that song is not even about the pope.

also, one harkens back to the star trek episode "miri" where the kids do a chant, "bonk, bonk, on the head ..." while chasing kirk around with clubs.

but the best quote for the day i've been able to come up with so far is --

"knock three times (with a tiny silver hammer) on the pope's head if you want me...."
