Thanks, MrB.
Interesting, fun article.
I was a bit disappointed with the "talking to as many people as possible" game, though if it's done in the right spirit, it's probably O.K.. I've seen a lot of situations where the quest for numbers turns people into objects rather than humans.
Even though that picture is from 1837, I wonder if it's George Washington and his dad?
That dude who stole his "Aqualung" tape should be ashamed! It's almost like stealing life from someone.
The author does not relate whether he actually thinks other peoples' jobs are hard, but they are! I may start using this as a conversation tool, because I can say it sincerely.
I would not think of touching another person that was not a friend of mine.
We have a guy at church whose personal space is only about a foot away, and it's very uncomfortable talking to him, even though he's a good guy. I need two feet at least.
Apologies can be very hard, especially if I realize that I've done something very wrong.
Never had a fantasy about a hooker.
Thanks again. That was nice!

I realize that it might sound like an overstatement to some people, but having someone touch me without my permission just screws with my day and sense of privacy and personal space and sends me into a k-hole spiral of wondering what unconscious signal I may have given to indicate that it would be OK, even though I know there isn’t one.
The above is a visual representation ...however, it was easier to find than was the exact definition
