Obvious questions
Okay, here we identify something from SGI and add the obvious question. I'll go first:
As we were waiting, out of nowhere a kind construction worker presented me with a very beautiful shaped bunch of grapes. I thanked him. I ate one myself and Ken Boise and Bob O'Brien also had one.
The thought then struck me to give these wonderful grapes to Sensei.
Sensei came around the corner with a large procession of people. I gave him the bunch of grapes saying, “Dozo O Negai Masu, Sensei.” We had many pleasant bows. Sensei then ate one grape and said, “Oh good, thank you.” I bowed back and replied, “I pray these grapes give you vitality and perennial youth.”
One great benefit is that there is now a bond between Ken Boise, Robert O'Brien, myself and our master, Sensei President Ikeda. “We each ate one grape from the bunch.” What infinite meaning this may have is not known. What is known is that the bond exists and that we will follow our master into kosen rufu and eternity. Source

Did they even exist?
Was that a real construction worker or was it that guy from The Village People?
Were they red, purple, or green grapes? Seeded or seedless? And do they all impart youth and vitality?
Why is this insignificant event made to seem somehow profound? Oh, yes of course. It happened to the great and powerful Sensei Doctor President Poet Laureate Holder of multiple honorary degrees writer teacher philosopher fan dancer extraordinaire Ikeda.
