11 September 1999 - don’t have an idea

Are you plodding and uncreative? Are you one of those clods who asks “Where do you get your ideas?” Don’t despair. Every living person has the inherent power of creativity. Follow these instructions:

1. If you don’t have an idea, get a shovel.

2. If you still don’t have an idea, dig a hole.

3. If you still don’t have an idea, keep digging until it’s two meters long, one meter wide, and two meters deep.

4. If you still don’t have an idea, lie down in the hole. You’re dead.
