MAD and crazy are just two adjectives Craig Levein throws out to describe the pressure pot of football management.
Some might reckon they both fit his decision to jump back into the fire with the Premiership's bottom club St Johnstone after four years enjoying working on the outside as a pundit.
It's a bonkers world all right.
In his last post as boss of Hearts, Levein described "natural order" being restored in Edinburgh after a derby victory - only to see the remark kick off an almighty capital war of words.
His response ahead of the next clash with Hibs? "It was a good laugh wasn't it?" The problem for Levein -as he admitted at his McDiarmid Park unveiling yesterday - was that life juggling two jobs as boss and director of football had become anything but fun in the latter stages of his second reign at Tynecastle.
He was eventually sacked with the club second bottom of the table, ironically after a 1-0 defeat in Perth.
As the years passed and he got more and more comfy in media gigs it began to look like his dugout days were over for good.
But the 59-year-old insists he never once thought he wouldn't be back on the frontline.
The management game at the top level might be a box of frogs but Levein leapt at the chance to return with Saints.
