Yeah, this bit was hilarious! having to walk up to the chalkboard in cowboy boots with kids snickering at him behind his back because he couldn't add numbers without counting on his fingers.

And he still uses the technique Fred used on him and all those involved; push buttons to expose their tendencies, to figure out more about them in order to keep them weak and needing and off balance if you can. bawee is like the abused who will continue to spew his anger and disappointment everywhere he goes - he is now the abuser. > You don't get much more hoodwinked than Barry has been hoodwinked - apparently his entire life. Even his early childhood is marked by the cognitive dissonance of a typical military brat. You have to realize what he's probably been through: moved around all over the world every few years to live in some god-forsaken backwater with people whose language he couldn't even understand; jerked out of school in the middle of a semester and forced to go to new schools in a strange place he never even heard of; having to walk up to the chalkboard in cowboy boots with kids snickering at him behind his back because he couldn't add numbers without counting on his fingers. Gawd!!! He was probably screwed up by age ten. Go figure.
