Doc: I spent last Tuesday on my living room sofa. Watching my carpet . Watching fibers on my carpet . And the whole time I was watching my carpet I was worrying that I might vomit, and the whole time I was worrying I might vomit , I was thinking : I’m a grown man , I should know what’s going on in my head. And the more I thought about it the more I realized I should just blow my brains out and end it all, but the more I wanted to blow my brains out , the more I thought about what that would do to my goddamn carpet.
And that was a good day, Doc. So gimme some pills and get on with my life.
