Wow. Thanks, tanookie. You hit the nail on the head. This was supposed to be a funny story. I wasn’t _worried_ about what this woman says, and not because she’s “literally a retard”. It was a surprising situation, but a humorous one (to me) and in the context of my day and my life, it meant something. It doesn’t have to mean jack shit to anyone else, hence it’s appearance in MPSIMS. If I wanted to know “What do other people think of retards?”, I’d have gone to IMHO. However, **Lizard** , it’s pretty evident what you think. ---

Yeah, I know : ‘its’ not ‘it’s’ ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Lizard \* > \*\*She’s literally a retard. Why worry about anything she says? \*\* **Lizard** , I don’t know you or your posting style well enough to know whether this is some kind of joke, or completely out of character or what. It’s also very late and I don’t have the time or energy to look it up. But if this isn’t a joke, I will be back to tell you just what I think of such a vile, ignorant statement. **lorene** , your story was great. I’ve spent most of my professional life working (and having fun) with people who have developmental issues. Willful ignorance and humor impairment are much more difficult to deal with, don’t you think?:rolleyes: ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Salem \* > > **lorene** , your story was great. I’ve spent most of my professional life working (and having fun) with people who have developmental issues. \*\* Thanks. [hijack]I thought of another funny story about this client. She is very much into baseball, and the last time the Red Sox played the Yankees, she was very concerned that the Sox would lose. She led her day program in a special prayer that she concocted on the spot, which ended with “In the name of the father, the son, the holy spirit, and Yogi Berra.” The fact that she delivered it in all seriousness was what pretty nearly killed me.

How ya’ been, cutie? Hey, if a bunch of babes wanna use me as a dress-up doll, I’m game. We’ll just have to find a more private space than we had last time. But, you might wannna rethink the fishnet idea. Even if you ladies shave my legs for me (cuz _I_ ain’t gonna do it!), there’s still a large ugly patch of road rash on my left shin. So, maybe an opaque pair of tights? 😛 ---

I ask you, is this right? i want pics . **Lorene** , is your client aware that Yogi was, in fact, a Yankee?
