"Rabbit's clever," said Pooh thoughtfully.
"Yes,"said Piglet, "Rabit's clever."
"And he has Brain."
"Yes," said Piglet, "Rabbit has Brain."
There was a long silence.
"I suppose," said Pooh, "that that's why he never understands anything."
"When you wake up in the morning, Pooh," said Piglet at last, "what's the first thing you say to yourself?"
"What's for breakfast? said Pooh. "What do you say, Piglet?"
"I say, I wonder what's going to happen exciting today?" said Piglet.
Pooh nodded thoughtfully.
"It's the same thing," he said.
"What's that?" the Unbeliever asked.
"Wisdom from the Western Taoist,"I said.
"It sounds like something from Winnie-the-Pooh ," he said.
"It is," I said.
"That's not about Taoism," he said.
"Oh, yes it is," I said."
"Lots of people talk to animals," said Pooh.
"Not that many listen though."
"That's the problem."" Not like Pooh, the most effortless Bear we've ever seen."
"Just How do you do it, Pooh?"
"Do What?" asked Pooh.
"Become so Effortless."
"I don't do much of anything," he said.
"But all those things of yours get done."
"They just sort of happen," he said"Comment

Ramsay gets famous on the telly, mainly for swearing and being media savvy.
White has about 15 heart attacks owing to apoplectic rage and then gets on the telly.
Blanc can't believe what's happening: his protégé & his protégé's protégé are more famous and earning more than he is! The f--ks!
Blanc goes on telly, but wards off the charge of wannabe by sporting a bowtie.
Kitchens suffer.
The End.

How fine dining was destroyed by nepotism, in 100 words.
You've come right out the other side of the forest of irony and ended up in the desert of wrong.
