Life, You Know, Is Rather Like Opening A Tin Of Sardines.

Life, you know, is rather like opening a tin of sardines. We are all of us
looking for the key. And I wonder, how many of you here tonight have wasted
years of your lives looking behind the kitchen dressers of this life for
that key? I know I have. Others think they've found the key, don't they?
They roll back the lid of the sardine tin of Life, they reveal the
sardines, the riches of Life, therein, and they get them out, they enjoy
them. But, you know, there's always a little bit in the corner you can't
get out. I wonder--I wonder, is there a little bit in the corner of your
life? I know there is in mine.
