Patrick: Lord of the Rings

Heres a tale that Mike will find amusing. I was on the tram other morning, on the way to work. There was this large bum sitting on one of the seats. His feet were massive and the skin looked strong and hard. His nails were long, thick and yellow. He obviously hadn't worn shoes let alone socks for a long time. He could probably stand in fire and it would do nothing to him. Along with the strong feet he only had one sandal on and the sandal itself was just as strong and beaten looking as his feet. The rubber had gone hard with age with cracks appearing around the beaten in toe grooves. Aside from those standout features i also noticed that he was wearing a ring on one of his fingers (not a wedding ring). I was intrigue. I told Patrick about it and told him my thoughts on it. He went wild. I hadnt seen him go wild like that since i said that i never ever see people with cold sores and wondered where they were.

Went wild? What does that involve? Were you speaking tactlessly within earshot of this weathered gentleman?

I only mentioned it to you cos i thought you would get a laugh from it, being a strange point of view and all. Instead there was only rage.
