Deepockets Chopra

[TeeJay]

I think Deepockets Chopra is a brilliant man.
His books are so insightful for a Hindu with black horned-rim glasses
and a cleft in his chin. He looks like an intellectual but just comes
across as a nice, smiling, all-talk-no-action guy.
I admire a guy like him for not being bashful about being enterprising
and when he came to Vancouver, I went to see him with that other
author from Dhammasala in northern India. Oh what's his name the
little guy that fund-raises around the world - you know, the guy who
fled his own people when the Reds went in there and enlightened them
with electricity and running water, while this guy went a running to
over the Himalayas in a DC3 in '51. I forget his name but I was there
and Deepockets wasn't saying much because this little guy was hogging
all the attention. But I went to get his autograph after the little
guy's sales pitch and actually shook his greasy but firm hand. I asked
him for his autograph and he whipped out one of those portable debit
card machines like the pizza delivery guy has. He kinda belched and I
thought I smelled Molson on his breath and he said, "$45 Canadian". I
told him I only have VISA and he said he doesn't take credit cards
anymore because of, I dunno, taxes or something. But anyhow, I just
joked and I said that's okay, you probably can't write anyways and
laughed but he didn't. Then security came when he whistled and that
was it...I was outside in a New York minute. But at least I got to
touch him because he touched me with the two truckloads of books I
bought since I lost my legs...never did get my chair back though. What
a wonderful human being that man is. I saw his buddy there going into
the White House maybe a year later but I don't think Obama wanted
Deepockets there because I dunno maybe they took his VISA away...ain't
that weird? He wouldn't take mine and they took his. I think that's
philosophical.
