That's a great anecdote. I like to remember him just for his work, it's a shame so many have assumed he was, as a human being, something more than just a poet who became famous and developed a serious drug/alchohol problem. He never took himself that seriously, I don't think.
One of my fave Morrison moments was in a documentary where they decided to introduce each member of the band as they deplaned somewhere... :Name? Profession?" Each of the guys answered with their name, then the instrument they played.
Jim was last, and he gave his name, but when asked "profession?" he just started laughing. :D
