Philosophers on Trains: "Plato"

I now take a spec script writing class at NYU on Wednesday evenings. So that means I need to "ride the rails" into Manhattan. While doing so I heard a few pearls of wisdom that I cannot ignore.

The first one actually impressed me a bit because someone outside of me had a plan for cheating a polygraph or "lie detector test." He said that if you ask yourself a question with the answer you need to lie about, you'll trick your brain into answering "truthfully." I was amazed after hearing this. Finally, someone like me. But that happiness crashed and burned when he said "So just ask yourself: do you want to suck this guy's dick?"

Tsk, tsk. My plan was always to ask myself "Have you ever beaten Super Mario 1?" No, no you have not. I know that seems odd to some of you who know me. I love video games and have beaten/obsessed over many. But I have yet to defeat the most fundamental of games.

Besides being upset over the "D-S'ing" and Super Mario making me his bitch. This genius on the tracks also spouted such brilliance as: "I can't believe the friends who I thought were half-retarded are getting their doctrines!"

That must be a hard Whopper to swallow descendant of Plato, but what's harder is your disregard for badmouthing those with ailments. I'd say "for shame" but it seems to me that it would just ring on deaf ears.
