4. L. Wittgenstein - Philosophical Investigations.

22. L. Wittgenstein - Tractatus Logico-Philosophicus. 1922
Thursday night we had people over for a little get together. All was going well until the end of the evening. Our shady-ass neighbor Billy knocked on the door asking to use the phone. There were still people over and I didn't want to weird everyone out by inviting in our freaky white-trash neighbor at 1 in the morning. I grabbed Fab's cell phone and had him call while out on the front porch. But then Fab's cell died. Billy said that it was an emergency and could he use the house phone. I reluctantly agreed and led him to the kitchen where he just started blabbing forever.
Eventually everyone left the party (whether hurried by the presence of an ex-con with rotted teeth in our midst or not) except Geoff, from work. Finally Billy leaves the apartment. Just a few minutes later, we hear blood-curdling screams from next-door. It sounds like an animal being killed or worse. Its the guy who was just in here savagely beating the bajungus out of a woman next door. Fab calls the cops, Geoff runs outside to try to stop him. Billy runs away. The cops show up and now there's a crowd attracted by the screams or police lights. Finally he shows up again, the police arrest him, and Geoff needs to testify in court because he saw the whole thing go down. What an evening! None of it made a lot of sense or had any moral to it.
