何謂高潮？

表演有高潮，競賽有高潮。競爭有高潮，創業也有高潮。最容易想象的，莫過於打仗的高潮，性高潮。打仗高潮嗎，屬於殺人快感的高潮，文明人常常緘口不言，殺了就算了，殺幾個人，不是什麽大事兒，況且殺敵人、壞人。

性高潮嗎，好說，公開場合不妙，說起來自然不會放肆，不過上流場合，說說也無妨。

就是像我這樣的老頭，一腳踩進棺材，說什麽性高潮啊，倒是想起霍金（Stephen Hawking）的話，“（它-指科學）跟交媾不能相比，不過快感長多了”（I wouldn’t compare it to sex, but it lasts longer），看來我隻能想象這個了。

不過，老頭有老頭的法子。
