Which reminds us of the old story about a boat encounters an uncharted island 
island and the crew decides to explore. They find it is populated by one man who 
said he had been shipwrecked years before.

The man took the crew around to see how he had lived all those years by himself. 
They noticed two church-like structures up in the trees. "The one on the right 
is where I go to church. The one on the left is where I used to go to church."

Cheers,
