HCB is very misleading - remember he said, "I ate the sprocket holes" when asked hpw come they are missing on one edge. Look at the sentence in question, he did not say "I did that only once." Also, in the original French, "I happened to be..." does it have more subtle meaning? Did the translator do a good job there? I was all the camp to take that sentence (which I know about) at face value, until 3+ people on this list said they saw the contact sheet. So the mystery remains!
