As I keep saying...
If something really bizarro is to happen, the universe will place me there to at least witness. About five or six years ago, I would always see a day-pass mental health patient about campus here. He was so drugged up that he often would just drop where he stood, curl into the fetal position, and fall asleep immediately. He was particularly fond of blocking the entrance to the Optometrist office in the little mall at campus. He was otherwise harmless so, the maintenance man would gently wake him, and he would be on his way.
I felt sorry for the poor fellow, and often went out of my way to greet him. He was always very friendly, but of few words.
Today, I saw him. As we approached he smiled broadly in recognition. As I was about to say "hello," he declared "I SEE YOU TOOK ALL THAT FUCKIN' WEIGHT OFF!" He then let out a huge belly laugh. I smiled like you would when you have no idea what the heck just happened.
In all fairness, I am at least 25 lbs lighter. 😂
