I had no idea Joey was a published author (of sorts).
Tongue Tied

In 1970, Deacon began to write his autobiography with three friends. Ernie Roberts (who also had cerebral palsy), had been in hospital since the age of ten, and was able to understand Deacon's speech. Roberts listened to Deacon's dictation and repeated it to another patient, Michael Sangster, who wrote it down in longhand. After proof-reading by hospital staff, it was typed by a fourth member of the team, Tom Blackburn, who could neither read nor write, but taught himself to type in order to help. The resulting forty-four page book took fourteen months to write

The line in that Wiki entry made me laugh. Am I going to hell?

Also, I reckon Roberts just 'made it up' as he went along.
