Booger Boy

As you may recall from a previous post, there is a fellow I go to school with that has "issues", especially where bodily function is concerned. I have been trying to figure out exactly what the deal is with him and I have come up with nada. Sometimes he's really gross (as we all remember) but other times he will burst out with a really funny comment at a highly inappropriate time. For instance, today we were in the middle of doing a project critique, which is similar to standing up and having people throw rotten tomatoes at you while you defend your work that you thought was awesome, and he busted out this little gem while eating fun-size Starburst packs brought in for Halloween:

"AWWW, wouldn't you know it? Two pinks in the same pack! CAN YOU BELIEVE MY BAD LUCK?!"

This outburst was made during someone else's critique and while the room was all serious and quiet. The girl getting critiqued was already a nervous wreck and she just stood there staring at him in horror. I swear I almost peed myself trying not to laugh because inappropriate humor is usually the funniest kind. He followed that up by picking his nose and wiping it on his jeans leaving a shiny white trail. Classic. He clearly has some sort of something going on, but he is capable enough to attend college and he completes his projects correctly and on time. Graphic design isn't exactly rocket science but it's not that easy either and some of his stuff is actually pretty good. He is a mystery to me.

Dude really does have serious problems because everyone knows the pink ones are the yummeh-est.

Rest assured that this dolt will be running a Fortune 500 company soon and causing the GNP to fall several points.....it is karma of some sort.

I'm with Gwen. My first thought while reading that whole story was..."The more pinks the better!". Maybe the guy has some form of autism? Just a guess. They can be socially inappropriate but often have high IQs, which would explain the ability to attend college and do well.

You know, I too figured autism was the issue but no one will confirm that.
