Theodore Honey: Nothing, nothing happened at all, my figures clearly said that the tail should fall off and the tail didn’t fall off. It’s 7% above my figure, it didn’t fall off.
Marjorie Corder: Oh I’m sorry, what happens now?
Theodore Honey: I’ve been thinking about that on the way home, I’ll go to the inquiry and stand up and I’ll explain my figures to a group of very angry men and they’ll reject the whole thing. I’ll sit down, I’ll sit down and listen to them say that I’m insane because of what I did in Gander, and perhaps I am, I’m not sure you know. A qualified psychiatrist will testify to that, I talked to 3 of them this afternoon, no that was yesterday, wasn’t it? They showed me a page of ink blots and asked me if it reminded me of elephants and tigers, I said no it didn’t remind me of elephants and ti - they were just ink blots.
