Herr Krause. *He told you the reason. Why do you malign Wayne for
your reading comprehension problem?
Here's a rhetorical question for you. *


If you saw an emotionally disturbed individual coming towards you on
the sidewalk, muttering to himself and shouting insults, would you
engage him in conversation or steer clear?


True story. *When I was active in substance abuse volunteer work, I
interviewed a homeless guy who would tell these fantastic stories
about this famous person and that famous legal case inbetween talking
to his imaginary friend and/or friends. He even got into a fist fight
one time with one - it was amazing to watch.


Anyway to make a long story short, he said something one day that
caused me to do a little investigating. *Turned out the guy was once a
famous attorney - a real big shot partner in a big time Boston Law
firm. *I contacted the firm, talked to one of the senior partners and
the next thing you know, he's off to one of the big time rehab centers
- they had been looking for him for a few years. A year later he
looked me up - still "crazy" in one way, but he was stable and back at
work doing what he loved to do.


You never know. *Sometimes these unbalanced personalities can tell a
great story. *And I love a great story. *:)


That was a great story. If it doesn't inspire Harry to seek psychiatric
help and get back on his feet, nothing will.- Hide quoted text -
