"I say, Algie, what does a Khoekhoegowab will look like, what are the rules about disinheritance, and what about the rumor that the dead father's land goes to his youngest daughter?"

"Good questions, Reggie. Let us go find out. Devolution to the daughter is said to have something to do with the impossibility of ascertaining the father, but that sounds like a bundle of irrational irrelevancies. Anyway, I bet estate management there is a grim affair, don't you? Ancient tribal custom, I expect. While we're at it, let's look into how they're getting on down there for inherited well-water to drink, wash, cook and irrigate; and what are the local handed-down and inherited family businesses; and what are the local genetic diseases and inherited predispositions. I'd like to look into inherited local and national debt, inherited land security, inherited sustainable livestock farming and inherited nutrition."

"I would be deeply grateful if you would permit me the liberty of availing myself of this opportunity to venture to attempt to express, wholeheartedly and without reservation, my unequivocal unconditional concurrence. Let's take a few relaxed congenial types like a hydrologist, a geneticist, a geologist, a nutritionist, a successful Western farmer, a small-town American cattle rancher, a climatologist, an oceanographer, and a decent cameraman. It might not make tons of money for TIC but it will be interesting and add usefully to the stock of knowledge and lead to other things. By the way, have you spotted those encrypted hieroglyphic wills at Luxor that everyone seems to have missed?"
