El, Sadly enough, if JA was a homeless dude, I'd probably would have told him that I don't know how to cut and paste or most likely would have ignored him. The internet just makes things easier. Sure wish I could apply some of this stuff in real life. I was working in NY City today. All I could think about is how much I hate all of these people in my way as I drove from Point A to Point B. So many rude, obnoxious rat bastards. Every where I turned it was a battle. Took me two hours to get out of the city. Earlier today, I saw a homeless guy as I fought a cab driver for a parking spot. The poor dude walked up and down the street looking for cans to put in his garbage bag so he could return them for nickles. I didn't help him out. He sort of scared me a little. He kept cursing out loud to his imaginary friend. I just kept watching him. Then he stared me right in the eyes and said something intelligible. I'm not sure what I could have done to help change his day. So I simply glared back at him and rolled up my window and made fish faces at him as I pressed my lips against the glass. Then he bent over and showed me his ass and continued to chant his obscenities and twitches. I smiled and he winked back at me. NY is a weird place. -Clappy P.S. Its all true up the point where I rolled up the window. I really rolled it up but then tried to catch how the market was doing on the radio... I just figured my alternate ending was a little bit more interesting and funny... Anyhow, at least the thought of doing something nice for the guy entered my head this time. Thanks to you. Maybe next time. Hopefully the next homeless guy won't be such a scarey dude... or maybe I'll grow some balls...and at least say hi... The funny thing is that I realized as I fought 10 million other people in the cars on the way home, we all curse and yell obscenities to each other the same exact way as the homeless dude. I guess the only difference is that we do it in a car... I'm certainly not very eager to help out any of those cork suckin' cab drivers, though... Let 'em type out entire paragraphs for all I'm concerned. I hope their "ENTER" Key sticks!! I curse them all! Razzin' Frazzin' %^&$#@%$%% <VBG>
