Anyway Snow once heard from Nehru that he, Snow, wasn't ever going to understand either China or India unless he learned how to stand on his head. Snow contemplated this metaphor until he met Nehru face to face and they got themselves into some tricky political matter. Suddenly Nehru excused himself and walked to a nearby wall. There, he flipped himself feet up, and blood started to fill his head. Only then did Snow understand it wasn't a metaphor at all. -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
