It was on This American Life and was very amusing.
Question: Will hiding in a cavern with stockpiled chocolate goods be any part of this plan?

sumi, I know, right?
It cracked me up that the TAL staff took the inventory and actually expected to score . Every client I see thinks they are much worse than they really are. (except for one, but we shall not go there) They were kind of cute confessing their 'sins' .
The line is classic, because it is so true. "I do not think that word means what you think it means."
Ooops. white fonting for a fun surprise at the end of the TAL piece.

I love that the one that stole that test manual never even considered charging for the tests. It was wrongheaded but hardly antisocial.

That totally cracked me up. And I loved, LOVED how they cut the piece so as to completely bury the lead. Nicely done, TAL.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
Interesting article, bonny. Thanks.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
that is a great fucking link!
I listed to the TAL piece to and I was hee-hawing the whole time. I especially was curious that people thought Ira Glass of all people would score on the test when awkward /= psychopathic. Hilarious. I thought it was notable he mentioned that his coworkers thought he might score high, but what his wife would have speculated was silent. I figured that was our tip that there was no way he (or anyone else on his staff) would have a heartbeat on the test.
