A pun!
Read through this thread on our forum paying particular attention to the last couple of pages and all will be made clear.
Is there a moral to this particular story?
Sort of. “People in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones” comes to mind. If our speculative line of thought is on the money, we have an over-riding directive to consider as well. Just accept yourself or maybe wind up acting out Chris Cooper’s role of Colonel Frank Fitz in American Beauty.
LESTER: (softly)Just tell me what you need.
The Colonel reaches up and places his hand on Lester’s
cheek… and then kisses him. Lester is momentarily stunned,
and then he pushes the Colonel away. The Colonel’s face
crumples in shame.LESTER: (cont’d) Whoa. You got the wrong idea, pal. I do not go there.
The COLONEL stares at the floor, blinking, and then He turns
and runs out the open garage door into the rainy night.
“What a sad old man you are.”
