Stupid isn't it?

But I mean it was…even a little bit of nasi goring was a feast and it's amazing how your imagination plays havoc with you. How you can imagine smelling apple pie and roast dinners. That eventually disappeared, you just didn't think of anything. You're just a human on two legs you might.
