Nah...he's alright ... just temporarily Tolkeinized, a strange affliction dating back to the 60's. Plenty of bedrest and a different trilogy, say, maybe "Hitchhiker's Guide"...the best 5 part trilogy I can think of. Then he'll just have to concentrate on where his towel is. 'Course if he loses it from around his waist, he'll go off the deep end again and be saying:

...whopper,whopper,whopper,whopper,condom,whopper,whopper, condom,whopper,whopper,whopper,whopper,condom.whopper,condom,whopper...........

Maybe we need to think of a different trilogy...or maybe just the bedrest will do.
