Professor Miller is the author of numerous papers on the social-sharing
mechanisms and economic distribution systems of non-human species. One of
his most intriguing studies was his observations of the gray squirrel (S.
carolinensis) of the North American east and midwest. In one prolonged field
encampment, during a drought cycle in which the trees produced only a
minimum of nuts, he concentrated his research on one particular squirrel
family. He noticed that the male parental squirrel would crack a nut into
four equal pieces, and distribute the pieces to his mate and their two
female offspring. Fortunately, Professor Miller did not have to eat squirrel
fare himself, as his graduate students had packed along a nice field diet
that included premium mixed nuts, dried beluga caviar, and dehydrated
chocolate cheesecakes, the Professor's favorite rations. After completed his
observations, he returned to his Chair at an elite University, and published
a paper about his field work in the New England Journal of Social Zoology.
Impressed by the astonished implications of his study for a more
compassionate human economy, his peers nominated him for the Nobel Prize,
even though a few thought his reasoning was squirrelly. But though
Professor Miller protested earnestly that his paper was original, it was
quickly rejected by the Nobel Prize committee as being a plagiarism of an
earlier famous work. The title of his paper was "To Halve and To Halve Nut."

Professor Miller was Catholic, and though his research kept him in the
field, he often tried to reach critical mass.

The pupils of the Tendai school used to study
meditation before Zen entered Japan. Four of
them who were intimate friends promised one
another to observe seven days of silence.

On the first day all were silent. Their meditation
had begun auspiciously, but when night
came and the oil lamps were growing dim, one of
the pupils could not help exclaiming to a servant:
``Fix those lamps.''

The second pupil was surprised to hear the
first one talk. ``We are not supposed to say
a word'', he remarked.

``You two are stupid. Why did you talk?'' asked
the third.

``I am the only one who has not talked'',
concluded the fourth pupil.

Why didn't the first pupil simply write a request to fix the lamps?

Why did the giant basalt monolith cross the road?

Because civilisation eventually collapsed, and then rose again,
1,000 years later, but a few yards to the left.

I've read or heard somewhere that back when he was a nightclub /
vaudeville performer, he was good. Then he got on radio and the
public couldn't see him, so he slacked off on the act. I saw him on
Johnny Carson's show one night when he was past being retired and it
was pretty pathetic as a ventriloquist act, but okay for the memories
from my childhood.

Carson: Male automobile offspring.
