I always thought the leather loincloth was a dead giveaway.

Are you sure he wasn't a member of the British Royal family?

He was undoubedtly passive, but the resistance was just a pose.

All very well known. He was a strange man to say the least and the following of his lunatic creed held India back for decades. However, he was instrumental in securing a relatively non-violent independence when almost any alternative was worse.

Mahatma Gandhi, as you know, walked barefoot most of the time, which produced an impressive set of calluses on his feet. He also ate very little, which made him rather frail and, with his odd diet, he suffered from bad breath.

This made him a super calloused fragile mystic hexed by halitosis.

"a sexual weirdo, a political incompetent, a fanatical faddist, implacably racist, and a ceaseless self-promoter, professing his love for mankind as a concept while actually despising people as individuals."
Mr. Prescott was unavailable for comment.

Unfortunately I can't claim credit for that one- I heard it years ago!

Still, it's very well remembered and it wouldn't stop anyone else.

I remember when people had to have fantasy dinner parties.

Ghandi was always the first choice in anyone's dinner party guest list.

Why? He's a blimming vegetarian. He'd have made a big fuss of 'not making a fuss' and ruined the whole evening. For everybody.

Bloody selfish.

Lighten up Ghandi, for fuck's sake!

I asked my son, if he could have 3 famous people, living or dead, come to his fantasy birthday picnic, who would it be?

3 living ones please, he said.

The things kids say, eh?

But I respected his choice.
