Is he the fat one or the skinny one? If its the fat one, I would tell him a fart joke. If its the skinny one, I'd bagger him until he ate something.

"Whatever your conception is of the Buddha, it’s WRONG! Now kill that image and keep practicing. This all has to do with the idea that reality is an impermanent illusion. If you believe that you have a correct image of what it means to be Enlightened, then you need to throw out (kill) that image and keep meditating.
Most people have heard the first chapter of the Tao, “The Tao that can be named is not the eternal Tao.” (So if you think you see the real Tao, kill it and move on)."

Why?
@Fornax That's the old Zen koan.
@brentan See @CallMeDave's comment above.
@tnorman1236 I guess I understand the premise behind "kill him". I still wouldn't.
