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. :)
Yeah, but Harry (let's face it, we are talking about Harry here)
No - I was talking about a guy I counseled when I was working with
when I was doing that sort of volunteer work. :)
Just tring to lighten the mood.
Oh, the rest of us are talking about Harry, try to keep up
Why?
