    in a cave, eh?
    In ancient Greece, Socrates was reputed to hold knowledge in high esteem. One day an acquaintance met the great philosopher and said, "Socrates, do you know what I just heard about your friend?"

    "Hold on a minute," Socrates replied. "Before telling me anything I'd like you to pass a little test. It's called the Triple Filter Test."

    "Triple filter?"

    "That's right," Socrates continued. "Before you talk to me about my friend, it might be a good idea to take a moment and filter what you're going to say. The first filter is Truth. Have you made absolutely sure that what you are about to tell me is true?"

    "No," the man said, "actually I just heard about it and..."

    "All right," said Socrates. "So you don't really know if it's true or not. Now let's try the second filter, the Filter of Goodness. Is what you are about to tell me about my friend something good?"

    "No, on the contrary..."

    "So," Socrates continued, "you want to tell me something bad about him, but you're not certain it's true. You may still pass the test though, because there's one filter left: the Filter of Usefulness. Is what you want to tell me about my friend going to be useful to me?"

    "No, not really."

    "Well," concluded Socrates, "if what you want to tell me is neither true nor good nor even useful, why tell it to me at all?"

    This is why Socrates was a great philosopher and held in such high esteem. It also explains why he never found out his best
    friend was sleeping with his wife.

    in a cave, eh?
    Pierre, ze Famous French Pilot, was having a romantic meal with his beloved. He dipped his finger in white wine and ran it over her lips. Then he kissed her passionately.

    "Oh Pierre, why did you do that?"

    "I am Pierre ze Famous French Pilot and I when I ave ze red meat I always ave ze white wine."

    After a more little time and a little less clothing, Pierre ze Famous French Pilot took a bottle of red wine, and gently drizzled it on her exposed bosom before kissing up every last drop.

    "Ohhhhhhh Pierre, why did you do that?"

    "I am Pierre, ze Famous French Pilot, and when I ave ze white meat, I always ave ze red wine."

    After even more time and even less clothing, Pierre's beloved begged him to pleasure her with his skillful tongue. Pierre grabbed a bottle of warm brandy and emptied it in her lap, and then lit it on fire with his cigarette.

    "PIERRE WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!!!!!"

    "I am Pierre ze Famous French Pilot and when I go down, I go down in flames."
