“The usual sniggering examples of animal behaviour were brought in to explain cheating. Funny how the behaviour of shrews and gibbons is never used to explain table manners or road safety or gardening, only sex. Anyway, it was bad Darwinism.

Do this with regard to children, to a spouse, to public post, to riches, and you will eventually be a worthy guest at the feast of life.”
