‘That exhibit,’ she said, ‘always reminds me of the Dylan and Hendrix song that refers to the joker and the thief.’

‘Yes,’ he said. I have been looking into the Catholic intellectual world lately. I read an interesting article about poverty, chastity, and obedience….Marx’s, Freud’s, and Nietsche’s main targets. This always reminds me of where Nietsche has spread his poison around.’

They then walked farther on down the road, and got some tuna and lox at the local kosher stand.

The sun was shining so brightly that afternoon that people were joyously taking photographs of all the sights. The happy couple quietly did some window shopping while awaiting the arrival of the bus they were supposed to take after their long day.

‘I have really enjoyed our day,’ he said.

Some people told Joe he was crazy to work for old man Jones, but Joe ignored them. With no degrees or diplomas and a big family to support, Joe took whatever job he could find. No matter what Mr. Jones asked him to do, Joe did it.
