Laughter followed, the guy got up in a huff and left. I think he might've attacked Hitchens, except that Hitchens was already bald and physically diminished from chemo at that point.

Great story! I feel like there are some real valuable lessons in there about how I should be leading my life, but I fear I am too emotionally limited to be able to transcend biased thought in the way that you have. So I am doomed to sit here in my silo, like so much grain.
