Alan, believe it or not, he said something along the same lines.... Blew me away that a person could be that naive. I suppose we were lucky that he'd never obtained a credit card, no telling how much damage he could have done with that...

He wasn't the only one that I knew who graduated high school and yet was almost totally ignorant. I rented a room in my apartment to a 19 year old fresh out of high school... He was a nice kid I knew from work. It seemed that almost every topic I broached (there were many before I gave up) was answered with a wide eyed gape. After a while I felt like I was living with a sponge.....<g>
