In certain societies it is considered a good thing to be crazy. There they make you king, though, being crazy, it is hard to imagine that you would understand or appreciate such coronation.
Insanity is seen as the purest form of communication with the gods. If the gods are beyond human limits and comprehension, the thinking goes, then those who have left behind lucidity must have special communion with the divine.
That is how the king of the hobos is selected. The craziest, most insane vagrant is selected by the most demented process known to man (hobo or otherwise): Democratic election.
so true, and humorous too!
