re: There was a time management psychologist who advised us how to prepare for the bar exam. Among his suggestions was a good night sleep. He recommended L-tryptophan [which I had already discovered] and said there must be more to law than this life. He either saw us suffering or wanted us to second guess the expenditure of time, money and talent on passing the bar and being able to practice law legally. He meant the impressions don’t go away with death [because if they did–what a waste].

FICTION: Poor Natalie [Wood]; it may have been a bond that financed her tragic death. I don’t know. I wasn’t there. Witnesses say she drowned. There was a fight.

BOB: You poor thing [world’s smallest violin].

RED: Poetry.

Dear Chris Cuomo:

As a newsman, would you get involved in an apprehension before, during or after police arrive?

GRANDPA: Tell him Harold.

SHERIFF: Nice guys finish last.

NICE GUY: But the American Dream…

GRANDPA: Not nice people.

SHERIFF: You want a house? Get hungry Fido.

NICE GUY: I don’t want to be a bum, but to get hungry, I may have to be one for a spell.

Whatever pays.

Example: Homicide occurred in San Francisco during recent George Floyd excessive police force protests.

Could hit men be sent during riots like in Rwanda?

John Rubens@raftofwater·1mReplying to @KrusinKeeganBlaming God for his [man’s] environment is like blaming others for the mistakes we made ourselves.
