[!@#$%!]

i once met a guy who was kicked out of a large city for public drunkenness. the judge ordered that he be put on a departing bus and never return or he'd face jail. i met him years later in a town in the middle of nowhere, which is where he had eventually landed. at that point he had reformed and become an artist.

i have no such hopes for simpleton, though. i fear he's incurable, since it takes a functioning brain to learn any kind of-- anything.
