Melting Watches & Diving Bells

Once at a lecture in London titled “Paranoia, the Pre-Raphaelites, Harpo Marx, and Phantoms,” Salvador Dali made a magni ficent entrance, as usual.  Holding two white Russian wolfhounds on a lest in one hand and a billiard cue in the other, he was dressed in an old-fashioned diving suit and helmet topped with a Mercedes radiator cap.  He tried to speak but soon realized that, without a supply of oxygen to the helmet, he was unable to breathe.  The audience blithely watched him struggle for air, thinking it was a part of the act, but finally two friends realized something was amiss.  They frantically attempted to hammer off the bolts on the helmet.  Finally a stage hand arrived with a wrench and released the nearly suffocated Dali.

You know Dali is a weird guy.  That’s his whole thing – being odd.  At least when you hung around him, things were probably never dull.

Can't you see a little bit of Johnny here?

When I saw this cartoon, it occurred to me that Johnny Depp would play an outstanding Dali.  How do I get a hold of his agent?
