It might be an intelligence test. It might be a test to see if you are "in on the joke". It might be a test to see which group you belong to.

Do you check the question for boobytraps?

Sorry, nothing to tell. Old family friend. Vietnam vet. Always going to the doc. So I ask what's up. Apparently when he went in for his dick treatment they accidentally turned the dial all the way to fishsticks. Internal burns. Ongoing treatment.

Why he was getting his dick nuked in the first place? He will not say.

I relate.

I think it's because so much of our work and play these days involves concentrating upon ideas and stories and abstractions and such. We're all focused in our head.

Which means that our attention is turned away from everything else. IE the whole world.

Self reflection is a hanging offense round these parts.

Zing. Eyeroll.

Ya me either.

No I'm not insinuating anything like that.

I expanded on my point elsewhere in this thread. It isn't anything fancy.

Likely. You got anything specific?

Exactly.

Evasion!

Whatever you are, go with that.

(Always end it with an accusation. You people are all alike.)

But seriously.

It's simple. Think about what characterizes you. Think about those who share these characteristics. Think of that group.

What horrible errors are members of that group often guilty of?

But seriously. I've seen a thousand conversations where everybody bitches about some person or people.

And the recipients of the bitching are always those other guys. People totally unlike you or me.

So I figured that was some gratuitous low-hanging-fruit-grabbing right there.

Which brings us to my question.

I actually know a guy who got his weener near-fatally microwaved by a buggy medical device.

You really don't understand the question?

Pizza cats sleep

You guys really get into the whole persecution angle.
