You are right, Pappy, and it was unreal. Read on news today that he is claiming he has schizophrenia, so I cannot really say too much about that, as don't want to make fun of anyone especially in that condition, if that is so. However, I do wonder how someone didn't screen him better beforehand. I learned a very little bit of sign language a few years back, and I was watching him thinking he looked legitimate and looked like he knew his stuff. Ha!
(and now that I think about it, I believe I got through most of the alphabet when I was trying to teach myself, and never really learned much beyond that.)
