What he rea//y said to me was, “So you like the evolution of human consciousness, huh?” “Well, yeah,” | thought, “now that you mention it, | do. | mean, when you put it like that--So you /like the evolution of human consciousness, huh?--sure, | do. | like it a whole lot.” Too bad | had remained silent instead of using my instinct and advising Julius, “Let’ s get the hell out of here.” 5. Once, in the men’ s room at an airport, | couldn’ t help but notice a man standing at a urinal a urinals away from the one where | was carefully aiming my stream with my left hand onto the round marzipan- like disinfectant. But he was allowing his penis to aim itself, because he happened to be busy using both hands to floss his teeth. It was a monument to multi-tasking. I' m embarrassed to admit that, rather then flossing, | would use a dollar bill to clean between my_ teeth. Instead, | was actually adding bacteria to my mouth, thereby giving a new, literal meaning to the concept of “dirty money.” As a result, my teeth were in terrible shape. HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_015452
