re: #735 Jadespring

That’s interesting. Do you recall where you read the account?

I’ve been trying, and I can’t. It’s a throwaway line stuck in my memory. I wonder if it might have been part of John Hockenberry’s memoir, which I read about ten years ago. I’ll try to check.

I recommend Hockenberry, BTW. He’s hilarious. The book also includes a discussion between a bunch of Israelis examining a Scud that landed outside their apartment complex, and a scene where Hockenberry goes up in a helicopter over the Ayatollah’s funeral, leaving his wheelchair with a random Iranian on the street who stops chanting “Death to America” long enough to promise to mind the chair.
