It has got to be bad when even his fellow primitives are telling him how stupid he is.
Well, I'm sure I'm not the only person who, when reading the sparkling husband primitive, gets the "picture" of a clown sitting on a commode in the basement.
I'm sure others have that impression, too, and it's the sparkling husband primitive's own fault. He painted his own self-portrait.
It's just kind of hard, even for some primitives, to take a s itting clown seriously.
