No Good Deed Etc.

As a former journalist, I should know better than to talk to reporters. As this guy was talking to me, I knew precisely which quotes he would use, and correctly predicted the sniggering tone the story would take. I didn't think he would completely misunderstand the poem as well, but that should have been the most obivous prediction of all:

Oh well.

I'm actually visiting Las Vegas for the next two or three weeks. Postcards are forthcoming.
