Were you the same people that moved all the world one foot to the left? I have been unable to find my way around since.
That’s a great Heinlein story for teaching the philosophy of time travel. Never heard of that song though.
When you’re lyin’ the gutter, just remember that you haven’t really been drunk till you’ve woken up in mexico without clothes or a passport, and clutching a bottle of tequila. Been there, done that.
