Susan, what comes to mind is not necessarily a shared experience, but a truly sublime line from Jacob's first paper. He did a Longinus eval of Cat in the Hat, and the last sentence of his first paragraph went something like - oh no, when I try to quote him I can't - Longinus speaks of the dangers of producing work that is not sublime that turns out puerile, but Dr. Suess manages to take the puerile and make it sublime. Oh no, the quote turned out really bad when I tired to paraphrase it. Ask Jacob. In any case, I think our most silly moments were all magnificent combinations of both the puerile and the sublime...
