NOR DID HE EVER REALIZE HOW USEFUL A TOOL A LITTLE CLEVER DEVIOUSNESS CAN BE. BILL HEWLETT AND DAVE PACKARD ARE PROPERLY NOTED FOR THEIR GENEROSITY BUT, GIVEN THEIR MEANS. THEY CHOOSE TO ECONOMIZE IN WEIRD WAYS. THEY FORGET THEY'RE RICH AND DO THINGS THE WAY THEY'VE ALWAYS DONE THEM. THEY ARE BETTER NOW THAN THEY USED TO BE SO AT THE ANNUAL DEER HUNT YOU NO LONGER HAVE TO WASH THE DISHES WHILE THE CHIEF OF STAFF AND THE DIRECTOR OF THE CIA DO THE DRYING. BUT STILL, IF YOU SHOOT A DEER. YOU ARE EXPECTED TO SKIN IT - AND ERNIE WOULD. BUT IT DIDN'T TAKE ARJAY OR ME VERY LONG TO LEARN THAT IF YOU LOOKED A LITTLE HELPLESS AND ASKED HEWLETT WHAT TO DO NEXT. HEWLETT, THE SON OF A PROFESSOR OF MEDICINE. WOULD INSTRUCT YOU SO CAREFULLY THAT HE'D VIRTUALLY SKIN YOUR DEER FOR YOU. DEER HUNTING ALSO REVEALED ERNIE'S LACK OF UNDERSTANDING OF THE SIMPLER LAWS OF PHYSICS. OPTICS. OR ENGINEERING. ONE TIME HE STEADIED HIS AIM ON THE HOOD OF THE CAR WITHOUT REALIZING THAT A TELESCOPIC SIGHT AND A RIFLE BARREL SET TO COORDINATE WITH A TARGET AT 300 FEET DOESN'T DO SO AT 3 FEET - RESULT, NO DAMAGE TO THE DEER BUT ONE HELL OF A HOLE IN THE HOOD OF THE JEEP. 3.
