I think the kid maybe had the calling (I wasn't there so I'm only
relying upon his expressed zeal in drawing this conclusion), but maybe
he was a bit detached from reality, a bit too detached. What would you
do when confronted with someone with their head up their ass? I'd
probably give them a dose of reality. Whatever impression was made on
the kid, it doesn't matter, the right thing was done.
