Well, as many of you may know, I had recently converted to Funkamentalism, but I was sitting on the beach in Jamaica yesterday, and a Rastafarian was trying to tell me about how great Haile Selassie is. As I was listening to him drone on about JaJa loving, a coconut fell out of the tree and hit me in the head. Now, we had been sharing a big spliff when this happened and I was already a little woozy. I was knocked cold. When I awoke, I didn't want to be a Funkamentalist anymore. I had read a study recently about how people who suffer head injuries often become atheists. So I decided when I woke up to be an atheist, but my Rastafarian friend was there with another big ganja spliff. Now, what I and I tink mon, is it woul' be really rasta righteous if I and I both become an atheist/Rastafarian. That way, I could sit on the beach growing dreadlocks and smoking the herbal rites. But what I want to know is, did that coconut knock some sense into me , or did it knock the sense out of me?

At first I thought you might just be asking this question of Keith Richards. Then I read your comments and to answer your question with my opinion, I think it's possible that your state of mind was already altered long before the coconut hit your head. ; )
Because of that, whether you were hit with the coconut or never had been, I don't think sense could have been knocked into you or out of you.

Haile Selassie ("hy-la, seh-lah-see"--Amharic for "power of the Trinity") was the Emperor of Ethiopia 1930-74, a direct descendant of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba, a scholar and devout Christian, a gifted general and a gifted politician; he became the "Rastafarian" godhead against his will, and remains as such, in closed circles, today.

Coconuts are meant to convey the lesson that sometimes you have to work pretty hard for that delicious white meat. Besides, they were needed for Abbott and Costello movies.

I think the coconut sent you 'nutty' :P
Put the coconut milk in a glass, chill, stir in some vodka and enjoy!

All good things are from God.
That coconut must have migrated by means of a European swallow.

I don't know if the coconut was from God, but it did some serious damage.
