Indonesian Little People Pale Ale?

I'm not sure what my late father was getting at when he read to me a poem by A.E. Housman which advocated suicide, or when he told me that he told a joke about a father teaching his son to swim:"The hard part was getting out of the sack," or when he read aloud "Heather Ale: A Galloway Legend" by Robert Louis Stevenson.(bartleby.com/246/961.html)
My Dad did read that stuff-seriously.
I do hope, however, that John J. Miller realizes that I wasn't serious when I suggested in a email that Napoleon Bonaparte and "Louis LaBeau" of "Hogan's Heroes" were "living fossils"-throwbacks to what may have been *mankind's* oldest enemies.......
