P. Petit quote

[Jonathan Lighter]

I remember this one. It isn't in YBQ, but it's at least as good as Mallory's
"Because it's there," which is.

 :

After Petit finally came down from the tightrope (unharmed), he was arrested,
jailed, taken for a psychological evaluation, and released. Journalists
asked the performer why he did it. The then 24-year-old responded, "When I
see three oranges, I juggle. When I see two towers, I walk."
