"[Kilgore Trout, the science fiction writer] wrote a story one time
about an optimistic chimpanzee who became President of the United
States. He called it 'Hail to the Chief.' The chimpanzee wore a little
blue blazer with brass buttons, and with the seal of the President of
the United States sewed to the breast pocket....Everywhere he went,
bands would play 'Hail to the Chief.' The chimpanzee loved it. He would
bounce up and down." -- Kurt Vonnegut, _Breakfast of Champions_, 1973
