Well, it’s really not all that funny I suppose but to give you some insight on why this just tickled me to death is because I played a lot of sports all through school. Everytime we played someone bad, the coaches, in an attempt to guard against overconfidence, would invariably spout something like, “Men, these guys are down this year but they’re not the Little Sisters of the Poor! Now go kill 'em!” And then we would go out and kill them like they actually were the Little Sisters of the Poor. You hear it on TV all the time too.

So, the Little Sisters of the Poor is of practically mythical proportions for me (don’t know if I said that right but you get the idea, I’m sure) because it represents the most forelorn and woe-be-gone that one can imagine. And now to actually have “met” someone that’s had a real affiliation with that organization, it’s like, cool. As I said, there’s nothing really funny about it, I understand this is about people helping people in serious need.
