When i say chase i was going 30 miles an hour and so w ....

They didnt send me to a cushy hospital but they sent me to broadmoor and the minute i got here i said there has been a terrible misunderstanding. I said how long have you been here for .

He said they want to be a scientist. Suffice it to the psychiatrist, i said to the nurse ....
