Something’s going on here…

  

Joseph Force Crater[1] (January 5, 1889 – disappeared August 6, 1930; declared legally dead June 6, 1939) was an American lawyer who served as a New York State Supreme Court Justice and mysteriously vanished shortly after the state began an investigation into corruption in New York City. Despite massive publicity, the missing personscase was never solved and was officially closed forty years after Crater was declared dead.

My Dinner with Andre the Giant


Andre:
I just don't think I feel the need for anything more than all this, whereas, you know, you seem to be saying that it's inconceivable that anybody could be having a meaningful life today, and, you know, everyone is totally destroyed, and we all need to live in these outposts; but you know, I can't believe---even for you. Don't you find it pleasant just to get up in the morning?
Professor: I disagree. I never had a meaningful life. In fact my life has been and continues to be a waste. Nothing I have ever done has ever had a positive effect on anything in the world.
Andre: I think you are too hard on yourself. What about all the lonely Jeffrey Tubin types who correspond with you? Surely that means something.
Professor: Don't call me Shirley. And none of it means anything.
Andre: Is there anything I can do to make you feel better.
Professor; Well yes ....there is...can you body slam me?
Andre: I think that be arranged.
