10. Nah. It qualifies you to be human.

I grew up not too terribly far from where they'll hand you a snake in church. Believe me, I've thought and said more than once, "they're fucking crazy". But then I have to remind myself that I've fought depression since I was a kid, and maybe I'm Just as much a member of the walking wounded as anybody. It may have been little more than luck that I didn't let those snake oil peddling fuckers feed off my weaknesses like all the rest. I think the common phrase is, "There but for the grace of God..."

I'm not injured to the core of my being and you're not an asshole. Hell, tomorrow I may stick my entire leg in my mouth. It wouldn't be the first time. I don't hold the patent on right or wrong, or the copyright on what's funny.

It seems to me we're doing what we're supposed to be doing. Both of us. We're just trying to get along through mutual understanding. What could be wrong with that?
