Fawlty Showers 2

 

Knowledge and Understanding

The speaker at the AA meeting that night talked about self-medicating panic attacks with alcohol.

Afterward, The Preacher said, “All she had to do was look around and see there was nothing to be afraid of.”

 “That’s the point,” I said. “At first, she knew she wasn’t in danger, but her heart was still racing. She still felt the terror.”

 “Well, she shouldn’t have,” The Preacher said with a smug smile.

 “But she did, which sent her brain scrambling for an explanation. She wondered if she was losing her mind. With each panic attack she became more convinced her she was.”

“That shows she’s not very bright,” he said shaking her head. “Nothing personal, but if people in your line of work would just point out the obvious, people could get on with their lives.”

I wondered if I could convince a judge I had accidentally kneed The Preacher in the groin.

I started to say something, but decided arguing would just give me more to be angry about.

 

Today I’ll avoid useless arguments.
