Several years ago, I was sitting out in front of a hamburger joint on Whittier Blvd. waiting for my lunch order. A fellow came up and sat down next to me. He was not an unfamiliar sight along that stretch of highway; walking up and down the road, or stretched out sleeping on the sidewalk, everyday in a dirty trench coat, long matted hair and the Charlie Manson look in his eyes.
He launched into a convoluted diatribe about land bridges between continents and the movement of ancient peoples, dinosaurs and all manner of strange goings on in the universe. Finally he looked me in the eyes and said, "Do you understand?"
I replied, perhaps more harshly than was warranted, that I didn't have a (expletive deleted)ing clue what he was talking about. He looked like I slapped him across the chops. And without missing a beat said, "Give me a dollar."
I hope Dr. Phau knows what he is doing by engaging he who cannot be named.
don't tease the animals!
