"When Otis S. Brown was a young boy, he dreamed of someday
becoming an airline pilot. In fact, everything he did throughout
those early days in grade school was aimed at achieving that goal.
Then, disaster struck, and Otis Brown's dreams of becoming a
pilot faded as he was fitted with increasingly stronger minus
glasses to correct a worsening case of myopia, or nearsightedness,
a condition which causes distant objects to appear blurred."
I'm sorry your dreams were shattered, Otis, but that's no excuse for
lying and hurting people.
