This article reminded me of a real character I once worked with. After getting ready to go out for the evening, this guy would go through a little performance, checking with hand motions that everything was in place before he went out. He had a little checklist which he would go through aloud and it went something like this: "Spectacles, testicles, wallet, watch, OK I'm ready to go!"

It also reminded me that M.K.Gandhi, though he may have had few worldly posessions, had balls of pure brass.

He achieved his goals through the application of pure willpower and an unshakeable belief in the 'rightness' of his actions.

We need people like him today, any takers?
