It is written that once when Notire Basura came upon a monk who, with bleary eyes and drooling mouth was shouting incoherent sounds and waving his arms, he said respectfully, " I cannot understand you. What are you saying?" 

"You cannot understand me because I am a stupid, blathering idiot," the monk replied. "Is that fact lost upon you?" 

"Not at all, " Notire commented, passing on.
