They possess admirable physical strength, so to be a part of that and included was just so flattering. Jim does not put up with fools, so I knew he was asking me because he knew I would be too damned stupid not to respond, "Oh, you see that in me? Guess what? I'm going to demonstrate to you that I am capable of doing just that. Naturally, he anticipated nothing less. I was therefore ecstatic to be asked."
