I was as it was...once you met him the experience would not be forgotten. Maybe it was 1975 or 1976 when a friend George invited me over to his house to meet his roommate. As we walked through the front door we heard singing on the second floor. The tune sounded like an old sea shanty. George and I climbed the stairs to find his housemate naked, sitting in the bath tub surrounded by several floating navel vessels, having a wonderful time. George introduced him to me as 'Major Perks'. I was 25 years, old back then and the experience was a bit stunning however John was one of my first encounters, within our sangha, to crazy wisdom. So: to the unforgettable..... Thank you Major Perks!
