IWantToBeNormal

What about disabled people, mentally or physically?

Considering the ridiculous premise of "Tusk" and its subsequent relative success allowing Kevin Smith to make more movies, I think it would be tomfoolery to pass up this idea. It sounds cheap and easy to produce. Hell, I'll volunteer to play Jesus; I'm already unconventional enough in appearance as it is.

And the funny thing about it is that it seems to serve - as the young people say nowadays "Whatever" when they don't want to be bothered answering - the "wah wah" sort of serves the same function! People, when they are tired of someone saying something, say "wah wah" to avoid saying something. I think it's dismissive - "wah wah" sort of dismissing what you're saying.

This is exactly true; I was born with a cleft palette so had to overcome a lisp all throughout school so the kids in high school would immediately pipe up with "wah wah wah" anytime I would start to say anything, so that's when I learned at an early age to not just even bother socializing, haha. :-)

With regards to the first: Would it be possible to convincingly play dumb in a way that would allow you to say "Oh yeah I did what you said but someone else higher up the chain caught it and changed it back and then chewed me a new asshole about it"? Or does innocuous cluelessness not serve as an adequate shield against a fatal outcome? Are you certain the threats carried weight?

As for the second, don't feel weirded out. You typed it yourself: "people who were being treated at the cholera treatment centre". That's why shifts exist, so others can work while you relax. All you can do is give your 100% when you're present.
