Hat

Mr. B had a baseball cap made awhile back. It's a white cap with light blue embroidered letters. It says:


POLYGRAPH TEST MACHINE ALTERNATIVE USE 
EXPERT BELL HOLE BLOW-UP TEAMS

He was very proud of it when he first got it. He didn't explain it, he merely took it off, angled it my way and gave me that familiar look that says: "See? Makes perfect sense. Need I say more?"

He paid someone money to make that hat. I wonder what they thought of it. 

I also wonder how many other people out there have a "collection" of Mr. B suggestions and letters.

Some of the Native American tribal councils around the country must have a file box or two. I'm fairly certain the FBI has one. I know for a fact that The Department of Public Safety sent him a cease and desist letter a few years ago...along with a box that contained an impressive array of his index cards he had sent them over the years.

He showed me the letter. It was signed. By some big wig. In ink.

His biggest complaint was that they sent all of his ideas back to him. "Prolly didn't even read 'em."

I don't think Mr. B likes his ideas coming back to him.

Variations on a Theme

"Any one [can] carry a switch blade knife, but not everyone can clean a window with it."
Old Scottish Proverb
It was found in an Aggie fortune cookie. Another New Aggie product.

(on back)

The steletto switch Blade knife company looking for a way to merchandise there illegal knives. A steel blade coated with window cleaning rubber on the window cleaning edge, with the tip of the blade regular slot screw driver. One edge of same blade a cutting edge.


*****************

Any one can carry a switch blade knife but not everyone can clean a window with it. Just one of the alternate uses of a switch blade knife. That makes an illegal weapon a leagal work tool.

Searching

I was shelving some books when Mr. B found me this afternoon. I asked him how he was doing and what he got up to today. He said, "I've been driving around. Looking for something to build but I don't know what it is. I don't know how to build it and I don't know if it exists. I don't even know what it looks like." 

He was quite earnest. And looked genuinely stumped. 

I laughed lightly, placing a book on the shelf and said, "That's the absolute best thing I've heard all day." He laughed too and said, "Seems like it's the dumbest thing I've said all day."  

"Nah. You're on a quest and that's cool but it's gonna be pretty hard to find something when you don't know what it looks like." He agreed. 

I couldn't help but think that the universe keeps plopping Mr. B in front of me...he delivers me such gems. And this today...well...not to put too fine a point on it but...aren't we all just out there looking for something? Something that may or may not exist? Something intangible. What does my happiness look like? What the hell am I doing on this planet? What am I looking for? What are we all looking for? Not exactly the type of thing you'll find on a shelf at Walmart.

It's another new year...and I'm never exactly where I want to be. And I'm not alone. 

It's me, Mr. B and about a billion other people.

Patience

Sometimes I don't have enough patience for Mr. B. Tonight was one of those nights.

He wanted the Cherokee alphabet. I didn't get around to that one. I think he wants to make a Cherokee dreidel. It's a long story. 

And he also wanted the address of a one R.H. Fulton. The details are fuzzy. Apparently, he owned R.H. Fulton Pipelining in Lubbock, TX. He even gave me a partial street address. Kinescope. I Googled all of those items and came up empty. The only thing I found of real interest was this. I couldn't find any street named Kinescope in Lubbock. Maybe I didn't look hard enough but it was one of those days. After I told Mr. B I couldn't find anything about the company he asked if there was anything about Mr. Fulton's mansion. I told him millionaires don't usually have their address readily available online. 

Sometimes when I'm going through the hundreds of cards of Mr. B's I get a little scared of being in his world. It's a weird place.
