Oh, I suppose. Which is good, I guess, for chats and cocktail party witticisms.

I just don't take Freudianism very seriously. (And I had legitimate, relevant reasons for each adjective I used.)

Freud himself, on the other hand, offers a interesting window into fin de siècle Vienna, a period whose thought and culture intrigue me. My wife and I have a nice Gustav Klimt reproduction hanging on our bedroom wall.


See? Even Daniel doesn't take Freud seriously. Of course he's lying about it.

What choice does he have? There are too many risks for him to be truthful about anything.

All apologists always lie.

This statement is a lie.

Might I have a word with you, Trevor? You need to keep your references to the Aspen condo off this board. If Scratch gets wind of this, the Skinny-L time share will be exposed and I, at least, am unwilling to give up September nor do I wish my Autumn experience to be disrupted by the sound of black helicopters hovering overhead.

Let me take the opportunity at this juncture to share with you that Freud was a nutjob.

Just sayin'


That's exactly what makes him so much fun.
We hate to seem like we don’t trust every nut with a story, but there’s evidence we can point to, and dance while shouting taunting phrases.

Are you referring to Freud or the Daniel the Liar? I'm assuming Freud.

We might be able to work something out. I could use an early Autumn getaway. How do you feel about Christmas in Aspen? I'm all booked and can't use my time.

How do I feel about Christmas in Aspen? When I can get this:

in December, I'll be there. Pass the offer on to Daniel but just remember to get any agreement in writing so he can't lie his way out of it.

You seriously think that a promise in writing would bind a career liar and forger such as I?

Get it in writing from Daniel? You know, Jersey, it's one thing when we lie to others, which we habitually do, but another entirely when we lie to ourselves.
