  I tried one of these video screening interviews once. It’s very unfriendly to the neuro-atypical. Gave up about halfway through, because I was on the verge of a stress-induced panic attack and figured the job wasn’t worth it with this kind of hoop to apply.

  Can he please hire someone to teach him how to smile? He’s got the money for it.

  I get that it’s a comic but this doesn’t feel like a conversation that would ever occur in real life.

  I’m super for real, and now that you mention it, wouldn’t be surprised if I found out the book was written while on drugs.

  The book is incredible and I heartily recommend everyone read it just for how batshit insane it is. Here’s a taste:

  ::: spoiler Book Spoilers In the book, the speech during the March on Washington doesn’t happen. Instead, Forrest joins the march and is egged into throwing his Medal of Honor away in protest. It hits a senator and he’s arrested. He is offered a deal to join NASA to avoid jail time. He is sent into space with a monkey and female astronaut. The monkey pees on the controls and they land in the rainforest. They’re captured by natives. When rescue comes the woman decides to stay, and it’s implied it’s because she’s screwing the natives.

  He has a stint as a Professional Wrestler and The Creature from Black Lagoon.

  Also, Bubba doesn’t die. ::: spoiler

  It’s total insanity. Full of blue humor and raunchy sex. Is it good? Not particularly. Is it interesting? Absolutely.

  Again, strongly recommend everyone read it. It truly is a trip.
