4019. When the
Fowler fell over backwards and thumped his head on the ground, I was quite sure
that the sound I heard was simply my head being separated from my body.
4020. We are
taught from infancy what we are to do when our heads are cut off, and in our
schools, even from the first grades we are drilled in the technique and have to
practice it in front of our school masters.
4021. Not only
are we taught that we must run frantically around and up and down, but great
stress is laid upon just what sort of running around we are supposed to do.
Running around in circles is strictly forbidden, neither are we allowed to run
around is figure eights, or any other repeating patterns.
4022. The
running of the dead chicken has to be random and erratic, it must be as
unpredictable as possible. This is simply because any kind of geometric
pattern, would seem to suggest that there is logic in the experience of death.
Perhaps there is logic in death, I do not know, but if there is, we chickens
and roosters are not supposed to give any intimation of it.
