Helping Friendly Billy

A short list of things not to give to a schizophrenic

Cutlery
Your address
The impression, even in jest, that you might want to marry them
Hallucinogens in their breakfast beverages
The new Smashing Pumpkins – it’s really not very good
Those transmissions you get from that Magic Bullet infomercial, you know the ones that message by message tell you how to dismantle time
Your debit card, your PIN and a ride to the closest IKEA, this is not a good way to get your place decorated
Advice on their imagined relationship with the tall, bald guy from “Night Court”
The option of white, wheat, sourdough or English Muffin
That patronizing, wide eyed, “you crazy” look you tend to give

Confidential to Loco in Leavenworth: No, under no circumstance should you recreate the Taj Mahal in feces.


Rocktober song of the day: “Forever For Her (Is Over For Me)" by The White Stripes
