I was in SF years ago and was walking down the sidewalk and this beautiful gal walks up and asks if I would like to participate in life altering class. Thinking with my hormones I followed her up these stairs to a room with a few chairs. There were three or four other people sitting there so I sat and waited. So this guy comes in and writes EST on the black board and starts talking about crap I did not want to even understand so got up and started to walk out. This old oriental lady and two guys block my path saying I can’t leave. I’m six foot five and I said please step aside. She said you can’t leave, so grabbed one of the guys and threw him down the stairs and I said “ Oh Yeah”. The guy wasn’t hurt as I walked down and I asked “ what is this EST sh*t”. I later heard it was a brain washing center.
BTW — and apropos of your screen name — have you seen the commercial that updates the intro to The Jetsons?
