It's 2 a.m. and I am standing on a line in Baltimore to ask James Petz a question. Thirty minutes later it's finally my turn. I plan to go easy on him at first.

I look at James Petz and say, "James, what's the meaning of life?"

James looks at me and says, "Don't be an asshole."

I say, "James, why do anything?"

James says,"For the experience."

"Anything for the experience?"

James Petz pauses briefly, looks at me and says, "As long as you're not an asshole."
