To presume you know about the content of someone else's phone call--of who knows how many years ago--is so irrational that it can only arise from emotion. And when you say you "stand by" your post 100% you seem to completely forget the point about Hal seemingly calling Lou. Would you still stand by your post if you found out that was the case?
Oh, one more thing: a beta blocker would tend to LESSEN what (I'm sure) you're picturing when you invoke the "alpha male." An alpha male on beta blockers would be LESS high-strung (with lower heart rate and blood pressure). In fact, archers and pistol shooters have tried to use beta blockers in competition--only to be blocked by the Olympic committee. They reduce anxiety and hand-tremor. They're just the thing for any sort of "aiming" competition![]()
I never said I knew of anyone's call. I merely said Hal gave misinformation or partial information sometimes. If I went off 100% what he told me during my first call, I'd still be aiming fractions. I know what beta blockers are; I take them for large speeches. You missed the joke --- it was a George Carlin quote.
