I'm going to wager that homeless guy is a veteran, Vietnam if he's

that were the case I'm going to also wager that he suffers PTSD or some
other debilitating mental illness as a result of his service time. Maybe
he survived but one or more of his buddies didn't. Maybe he committed
some
heinous act in the heat of combat, killed non-combatants - whatever. I
think I'll win those bets as often as not. And, even if he's not a
veteran
you can rest assured he's not just some shiftless bum. I doubt anyone
ever
chooses to live like that.
Have a good laugh, Marlow.

Wow. You're kidding - right? How can anyone take a joke like that and
arrive at the conclusions you have? And to boot - end up taking offense at
it from a presumed prespective? The joke was not even about a homeless
guy - or did you not even really read it?
