CabbagesA few years back, the newspapers were full of a story about the drummer in REM who'd just collapsed on tour with a brain hemorrhage. It was our habit in the mornings to just chat about shit before starting the daily grind and this story came up for discussion at which point, one of the team called Warren launched himself into a jokey diatribe about how everybody who'd ever had surgeons monkeying about inside their heads were retarded cabbages. He kept this up for a good couple of minutes, doing spacker impressions, drooling Quasimodo style on his own shoulder and generally being quite unkind before he noticed we were all looking at one of the group called Martin who had just that week returned to work after six months in hospital recovering from a brain hemorrhage...
When the penny finally dropped and Warren came to a shuddering halt, Martin just smiled and said to the rest of us, "He's got a point".
Class!
