I recently spent a significant amount of time with one of Beau's buddies.
This particular buddy knows everything and, consequently, feels sorry for the rest of us because (in his mind) we know nothing.
I tried to be a good sport about this for a very long time (because I loathe it when someone assumes I'm not very smart). But he caught me rolling my eyes at Beau after one insult too many to my intelligence.
We were sitting around watching TV. We settled on Seabiscuit.
It's set in the 20s.
And when, in the movie, a newspaper headline appears on the screen with the word CRASH! in the largest possible typeface, I hear a stage whisper:
THAT SIGNIFIES THE GREAT DEPRESSION!!!
Really?
REALLY???
For those of you who know me, I'll assure you that the guy is still alive with all of his limbs intact.
But it was a close one.
Really. Fucking. Close.
