When the Veterans Administration psychiatrists finally persuaded me that I not only had PTSD but severe PTSD and that I would undoubtedly never be able to work again, I went outside and was crying.
Guy in inpatient pajamas was sitting there. I offered a cigarette. He asked me "What's up, bro?"
I said "They finally convinced me that I'm crazy. They say I will never work again."
He said, "Don't sweat it. You're in Arizona. If the VA psychiatrists admit you are crazy, you can make money being a hitman. If you get caught, they'll send you down to such and such a facility, load you up with Thorazine, pronounce you cured in 6 weeks and kick you back out."
Struck me as funny and I started laughing. Walked over to the bus stop, counted out how much I needed in bus fare to get home, gave everything else to the native american veterans who always hung out there.
