He's limited in a mental sort of way, but 'one coffee please' is a phrase he's mastered. So I met homeless joe, and his name is Stan. He introduced himself to me this morning while in the longest coffee related line I've ever seen. Man that guy can talk, asks all sorts of questions. Between questions he talks very quietly to himself. I think he must be autistic, he seems very, very bright inside. His obsessive compulsive actions are intriguing. Sits 3 feet from table, hands on knees, then gets up, steps to the left, side steps a few times, sits back down. Repeats on the right side. Drinks coffee. Gets refill. Pleasant fellow. Very chatty. Who's on first?
