    He's a jerk. Next.
    "My father would womanize, he would drink. He would make outrageous claims like he invented the question mark. Sometimes he would accuse chestnuts of being lazy. The sort of general malaise that only the genius possess and the insane lament. Our childhood was typical. Summers in Rangoon, luge lessons. In the spring we'd make meat helmets. When we were insolent we were placed in a burlap bag and beaten with reeds - pretty standard really."

    O.J. is a one? Then I give Willie a half. I approached O.J. while he was having lunch in 2005 in Florida, and he was super nice to me and signed several items for me. This was well after his downfall. He had the right to be rude and tell me to get lost. Probably at least half the people that approach O.J. call him a murderer (which he probably is, but that's another story). Willie actually has people PAYING him to sign his autograph and he still can't even smile or acknowledge the fans.
