    There was an old man from Darjeeling
    Who got on a bus bound for Ealing.
    It said at the door,
    “Please don’t spit on the floor,”
    So he carefully spat on the ceiling.

    When I think of some of the Persians, the Hindus, the Arabs I knew, when I think of the character they revealed, their grace, their tenderness, their intelligence, their holiness, I spit on the white conquerors of the world, the degenerate British, the pigheaded Germans, the smug self-satisfied French.
    Henry Miller (1891–1980)
