Genius.

In all fairness, I think this came up a while back on the excellent Cracked Magazine site.

The part at the end sure tells it all. I had a friend give me a black fleece vest, which was too big for me. I said Thanks and all that of course, but didn't wear it because it was too big - well, there was a homeless guy always behind the market near my apartment, and he looked like he could use it, and it would fit. The guy's not really verbal, and wasn't around anyway so I left it on his cart - later I saw him wearing it and it fit like it was made for him. It was a real feel good, and when I saw him later I told him I'm glad it fit him sell. This is a fairly scary looking black guy with eyes like that kid on The Cosby Kids, too. But anyone around there knew him and knew he was harmless, and part of the neighborhood.

Sadly, I saw him later, all skinny and had a radio he was holding like he expected commands from the space aliens on it to come in anytime. Poor guy. Yeah I talked with him a bit, as much as was possible, and gave him a buck.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('PenultimateManStanding', 'I')'m feeling pretty mellow. I know it sucks to really lose one's temper like that. The last time I really lost my temper must have been about 5 years ago. I was on an up-slope off-ramp waiting for a light to change and some silly woman pulled up inches behind me. I motioned for her to back up and she flipped me off. I used to lose my temper more when I was younger. Not any more. I don't like the feeling and prefer to meditate and rise above whatever the situation is.

I've also been walking on air since I learned that my youngest daughter who is a freshman in high school is too intimidating for JV basketball. Her classmates on the team are afraid of her and she makes them look bad. They kicked her off the team and bumped her up to varsity. She's an incredible girl and makes me so proud.
