You know why birds don't write memoirs? Because birds don't lead epic lives, that's why!
Have you ever noticed how sometimes, someone will say something completely off the wall? What are you supposed to do? Just ignore it?

"I thought it a rather convulsive twist in 1950 that an anticipated porcupine should turn out to be a skunk, and I have been listening carefully for sounds of laughter mighty nigh onto ten year."
That was written by Walt Kelly. But it seems perfectly attributable to Wolfson.
