Ignore the man behind the curtain

I vaguely remember this line from the Wizard of Oz "Ignore the man behind the curtain" - Toto had just pulled back the curtain and revealed that the great OZ was just a little man and even though he was now exposed as a fraud - he bellowed - "Ignore the man behind the curtain".



What made me think of this line recently was a comical series of events - that would take a while to explain but to make a long story short - A Pastor Friend and I were sharing a hotel room at a convention. We had arranged a room with 2 double beds - only to find out that one of the beds was a pull out couch. To make the stay even more interesting - the room was a "Juccuzzi suite" and to make the Juccuzzi even more "romantic" it open up into the motel room. With just a curtain that pulled across. The end result of all of this was that any time anyone used the "facilities" for any reason the only thing that seperated us was the Curtain. - So the phrase - "ignore the man behind the curtain" became our battle cry!

If it was good enough for the guy from OZ it is good enough for me!
