Declared the Elder Elders: It is a greater honor to die on Remembrance Day than it is to be born on Remembrance Day.

What’s the difference? asked the Elders, still miffed about the whole Cannibals-Can’t-Drive-a-Lincoln thing.

Because, said the Elder Elders, surely it is a greater thing to have devoted one’s life to our people in actuality than it is to merely promise to devote one’s life to our people.

You’re really hung up on the whole greater-lesser thing, said the Elders. It’s not healthy. Why can’t they both be great?

One must be greater than the other, said the Elder Elders, as I am greater than you.

That’s what you think, said the Elders.

That’s what I know, said the Elder Elders.

And they did not speak until dinner.
