“And as I was walking out, I heard a single clap. Followed by another. And another. Faster, now. I turned to see Josh, slowly rising to his feet, a proud, silent respect in his eye. As I continued for the door, slowly but surely, a chorus of hands crescendoed into whoops and hollers.

It’s like strange matter. It’s the crazy that drives everyone around you crazy. The prion of confused thinking.
I was able to secure a carrier (most call it a vehicle)
SovCits are always such dorks.
“Car salesman lies to customers make a commission.”
