Just so you know what to expect

While I think it is basically accepted as fact that human beings do the most bizarre and incomprehensible things on a daily basis, I do think that the acts of lunacy on the part of others that I encounter on a daily basis may be a bit greater than the average person. Perhaps this is due to my residing in New York City where psychos are welcome on any street corner. Not to limit crazy folks to this tiny island; to be sure stupidity is an epidemic the world over. However, my walk to work is usually more than a little interesting and when you combine that with phone calls from Southern relatives, hysterical friends and obsessive clients, my day becomes a series of sarcastic (and often homicidal) thoughts captured for you here, in case your sidewalks are less annoying than mine.
