Did I every tell you about the time Jim pissed off the Dalai Lama? Jim and I were in Tibet so we decided to visit the most holy place in Buddhism, the Potala Palace. Well it's not an easy visit being 10,000 feet above sea level and the whole palace is vertical (see attached photo. You can just see Jim on the staircase in the middle of the photo). Jim decided to get a folding stool so he could rest when the guide was giving a lecture. Everything was fine until one leg of the stool collasped and Jim toppled over into a scared statue. The Dalai Lama was later quoted as saying "llmra istur starana" which I will not translate since this is a family blog.
