Too Bad For Me

(5)

It was this need by TF to convey information about himself that gave me my first clue about the identity of TF: most of these 'hangup calls' happened while I was watching tv. Furthermore, most of them happened while I was watching a tv program about Jews. Slowly, over the period of a year or two, it dawned on me that TF was a Jew, and furthermore, TF wanted me to know that. Most interesting.

I can't really say that those calls proved to me in any sense that my 'telephone antagonist' was a Jew, not at all. But the idea stuck with me: did I know any Jews? Who were they? I could not believe, of course, that I was being harrassed by a Jew. Why? I had never done anything to Jews. Furthermore I knew no Jews. Did I? I thought not.

I was wrong about that: I knew at least several Jews. Too bad for me.
