"It is an unfettered truth uttered amongst certain groups of people with slightly less productive functions than the rest of us, that a person in want of a quiet life is a bore."
Monsieur Jean de Valieur - Assistant Keeper of the King's Geese to Louis XVIII
Of course a quiet life could mean the freedom to do what you want to rather than just sitting back and reading or watching television. Maybe something got lost in the translation or is it that working with Geese all day long has sent this man mad? How productive is looking after geese anyway?
