Undoubtedly tormented by her inner demon, she begged to receive audience with me. So how would I, a homeless man, respond to her, a rapist of the homeless? My first response was, shall we say, somewhat negative. But then I remembered I am the bigger person and her sad little life needed my approval. Reluctantly, I acquiesced. I did feel that somehow I should get paid for enduring this.
Dallas City Hall is actually no stranger to the homeless. We pee on it often. Or used to anyway. Now I'm being invited in - escorted no less - to an appointment with the face of evil herself. Amazing what a few words of truth can do. I wonder if her first response to me will be, "Off with his head!"

Not wanting to ruffle feathers, upon entering the Berghof office I staunchly saluted with an enthusiastic "Zeig heil!". But she dismissed this as you can see in the following interview:
Evil Person: "Oh, no need for that. That's like, so yesterday. I'm a queen now!" (Giggles and a small hop)
Good Guy: "I hear you have a new plan on feeding the homeless since reading my remarks."
Evil Person: "Like, totally! I found a much better way. Are you ready?? How about: 'Let them eat cake!'" (Painfully wide plastic smile)
Good Guy: "I, uh-"
Evil Person: "Great plan I know! I read about it in a book. Those other people want to give them icky old sandwiches but I'm much nicer to them! And that's not all!"
Good Guy: "Your compassion overwhelms me."
Evil Person: "Oh, gag me with a spoon!" - suddenly that thought sounded very appealing - "I also read where you can make special beds for them they're really gonna like."
Good Guy: "Totally?" I squirmed eyeing her "Eugenics for Dummies" book.
Evil Person: "They are so rad! They'll be snug like a bug in an oven." - mixed metaphor alert - "It'll be a gas!"
Good Guy: "What a helpful person you are!"
Evil Person: "I know! Aren't I wonderful! I'm a princess and my royal eyes cannot look upon such ugly people. I want everything to be bright and cheery for me!"
Good Guy: "But Milady, I am a homeless person. You are seeing me now."
Evil Person: "Oh my!" The princess felt a pea under her mattress. "You're right. Guards! Off with his head!"
