Now here is the absolute truth about Humpty Dumpty. Pay no attention to any other story you've heard before. This is the real truth. I dreamt it all on one dark, disproportionately -dreary, depressing night: The question has always been, did he fall or was he pushed? Neither, it seems he jumped! All because he had had a disagreement with some colleagues earlier in the day and they had assured him that he was "hard boiled" so he was pretty sure he could jump without doing anything to himself that could not be patched up. The motto here seems to be: Don't believe everything your colleagues say about you.
