I didn't think I had the guts for the extreme mentally ill population and I thought I'd want to kill the boring neurotics going over the same points endlessly.

And in the "how to make your kid neurotic" category, apparently one of the kids in the little league championships introduced himself by sayiing something like "I am my father's dream" (rather than "I am a catcher" or what havae you). This was reported to me by my (unselfish) mother-in-law.
(I wonder if it was the "one fucking run!" kid.)
