I had a cousin, who was cursed with intelligence but lacked control.
He could beat the shit out of me in chess. He had a low threshold to anger and the fact that the entire world moved too slow for him was a continual irritation. Out on the lake with me in a rowboat, he didn't get the idea of how deep to dip the oars. In a minute, we were soaked from his furious slapping them up and down.

When he enlisted, he tested well and was trained for military electronics something. He was dishonorably discharged soon after.

He was murdered in 1973. His penis had been cut off and jammed into his mouth. The murder made USA national press. Unofficial information was that he probably tried to cheat on a drug deal. Five people were arrested, but I never heard if they were convicted.

Oh, I was scared of him, too.
