A. I visited my friend Betsy and found her depressed, so I
drew her a cartoon. I can barely draw recognizable stick figures,
but if you let incompetence bar your way, you will lead a boring
life. On one side, a barren city street. Around the corner, a lush
paradise, as best I could portray with a few symbols, and an angel
calling on the radio “Heavens to Betsy! Heavens to Betsy!” But the
angel concluded sadly, “Still no answer.”
Was the cartoon a good idea? To know, I would need competence.
B. If you let incompetence bar your way, you are unlikely
to die in an igloo collapse.
