No, I heard ‘yes’ but I cannot confirm (for drugs), don’t know but wouldn’t be surprised, yes, and yes (there were many ‘charming’ behaviors). I had a very brief brush with Hollywood’s seedy underbelly, and it was enough to last a lifetime.

Not just anybody can do this. It’s for those who consider themselves appropriate recipients of advanced degrees.

Another gem of a comment that teaches me something. Thanks, JP. Animal Farm is a well known example of the genre in the 20th century, of course. I’m reminded also of The Master and Margerita. Communist Russia was quite as dangerous as medieval England for the political satirist.

In fact.. If you can get a PhD in a week, in 3 weeks maybe I could have been a rocket scientist or a brain surgeon..

I’m a little late to the commenting party,but clearly the Dunning-Kruger effect is at play in some of the characters in this little story, who are jealous of Herb’s excellence. And others of David Miscavige’s awesomeness. Nice call.

Lol.. I’ve spent a week in Turks and Caicos on three different occasions.. If only I’d known….

Thanks, James..
