Just what is it about Profane that attracts the ladies--Paola, Rachel,
etc. Is it simple pity, he's non-threatening, wha...I'd like some of
what he's drinking. Seriously, is Profane the ultimate in dum lugs we
care about because we know for all our smarts these "Profanes" will
ceaselessly blunder into the traps put out there by an ever so fluently
careless reality? and do we recognize so well that dum lug in ourselves.
Another thought: do we sympathize more for Stencil for the things he
shouldn't know or Profane who will never know'em but will trip over them
just the same?
