I remember one day at my in-laws house there was a John Wayne movie playing. In the movie John was talking to a bunch of kids and one of the boys had a stutter. So John got the boy so mad that he called John a son of a bitch, among other things. Of course the boy spoke these obscenities fluently, and John gave him a smile of wisdom.. the lesson being that you can talk fluently if you really want to.. or if you’re pissed off enough..? The fun part is that I was watching this with my father in law, and I have a stutter. I gave him a look like.. yeah, that’s complete bullshit.
