Your above quote reminds me of something Siberian Chess Tiger Axiom once heard from his master and trainer, the legendary Siberian Chess Tiger Mikhail Tigraniskov.
Now as you will be aware Mikhail was the only Siberian Chess Tiger to have a family. He only started training to be a SCT at the old age of 24, having already married and having 2 children, and the children's pet cat, Rufus. Anyway, one dark and cold night in Siberia Mikhail heard a rapping at his door. His wife told him "Whoever it is, tell them to go away".
Mikhail answered the door to find his master and trainer, Vladimir Krifevsky at the door. Vladimir, as many will know, always had a ..... fondness ...... for animals. Vladimir said, "I am sorry to bother you so late, but my house just burned down. May I please stay the night at your place?"
Tired and surprised Mikhail foolishly agreed and showed him to the guest room.
Everyone went back to sleep when, about 2 hours later, the family was awoken by sounds like a cat would make coming from the guest room. Mikhail, annoyed by the second interuption got up and knocked on the door to the guest room. "Vladimir" he said, "What is going on? What is all this noise? Is Rufus my children's cat in there with you?". No reply was made. Mikhail continued to wait for an answer as Rufus continued to make objectionable noises, so Mikhail finally and rashly made a decision he would always regret. He slowly opened the door and peered in.
Shaken and ghostly white, he returned to his bedroom. His wife immediately complained, "Mikhail, the cat noises are as loud as ever. Why didn't you do something? Idiot! He is going to wake up the kids."
To which a visably shaken Vladimir replied "Some things cannot be unseen, some things cannot be unseen". The next day the children found Rufus quivering under a chair. He had been spray painted blue!
