Becky, no one just contacts Gene. Gene is like the Dalai Lama or the Tooth Fairy. He descends, all knowing, all wise, from time to time, and imparts lyrics and tunes to the rest of us mere mortals. Who can know where he resides?

It reminds me of a joke.

Once upon a time there was a woman who wanted to see the Great High Guru, but she lived in New Jersey. She just wanted to say a few words to him, but she had a hunch he was in Nepal. So she went to her travel agent, and her travel agent said, well it is really expensive, but the woman said, I have to go see the Great High Guru. Anyway, she got on a plane, and went to Northern India. When she got to the Nepal border, the customs people asked her what she wanted, and she said, she was going to talk to the Great High Guru. They all laughed, and said, an old woman like you, it takes weeks to see the guru; there are lineups. etc. Anyway, she gets to the outskirts of the Great high Guru's monastery, high in the mountains. There is an almost endless line. She gets in the line, in spite of discouragement, and cold. After many days, she gets close to the front of the line, and the disciples of the Great High Guru confront her, and tell her that the Great High Guru is very busy, and she can only speak 3 words to him, when she gets to her audience with him. She nods. Finally, she is escorted into the chamber of the Great High Guru, and stands in front of his eminence. She looks at the Great High Guru and says: "Sheldon, come home!"

Yours, Peter

Okay, here's another one: Two philosophy students from Harvard felt like they had learned all they could from their professors. They had studied logic, mysticism, the religions of the world, but still did not feel like they knew the meaning of life. However, they had heard of a great guru who lived high in the Himalayas who purportedly knew the meaning of life. So they determined to find him. After a long and arduous journey, which took many years, cost them all their worldly wealth, and robbed them of the joys of youthful associations, they were finally able to come to the hall of the great guru. They were shown into the hall. One of them said, "Oh, great guru, we have come on a long and arduous journey over many years, we have spent all of our worldly wealth, and left behind the joys of our youthful associations to learn the meaning of life. Can you tell it to us?" The Guru opened his eyes, looked carefully into their faces, and with a cracked and parched voice spoke--"Life...is a deep well." Then he fell silent. The students looked at each other and waited patiently for more. When it didn't come, the other student said "Oh great guru, you mean to tell us that we have come on this long journey, spent all our money, and left our girlfriends behind, and all you can say is that life is a deep well?" To which the guru replied, "You mean, it's not?"
