I remember when I went to see the school guidance counselor and he told me that I was wasting my time studying computer programming and that I should be a porn star instead.
I've known people like this..you know the kind who take an hour to get around to saying something that could have been said in 10 minutes and who pepper everything they say with weird "humor" that they have to stop and laugh at themselves for 5 minutes at how "wacky" they are or whatever. Ugh.
