god's hackysack...?

"…met a young man with a backpack & a bedroll today on the boardwalk who had just got into town from Tucson…his face literally looked like it had been flattened or even pushed in…his nose was flattened with no cartilage pushing it out…we struck up a conversation…we ended up laughing for a good 15 minutes so hard my sides hurt…he said his jaw was a $50,000 jaw…it was made from a bone in his calf…when I asked him what happened he said he had tried to shoot himself…he said he usually makes something up… …he then showed me another scare around his adam’s apple where he’d accidently shot himself in the throat…he said it was from a bullet that ricocheted directly right back at him on a shooting range…this was after trying to kill himself the first time…all the while he’s telling me this stuff we’re laughing…he then tells me he’s been in 17 car accidents…I said, "you’ll forgive me if I don’t ride with you…" I asked how long he had been in town he said 2 days…he had been living at this brothers fancy house in Tucson who had two kids...then that brother had gotten caught stealing a laptop...he said he felt then that he had to leave because he wasn’t a thief & didn’t want to be connected to all that...he had just come from doing two stand-up comedy shows at the Comedy Store…he said he’d done well the first time but had bombed the 2nd because he was fullof himself from doing well the first time & had been drinking...he was real excited because he’d gotten Pauly Shore’s autograph...I noticed he also had a funky left arm…I was trying to figure out how that got in on the shooting …he said the arm was a birth defect…he said sometimes he feels like god’s hackysack…amen…"
