Summer of 2009: Larry Picks Up a Hitchhiker

One summer day in 2009 whilst Larry was driving around the island of Martha's Vineyard he picked up a happy-go-lucky hitchhiker named Paul Samuel Dolman.

Most people wouldn't pick up a hitchhiker, and the probability that irritable Larry would is next to zero.

But fate intervened to bring Larry and Paul together. Part of their conversation follows here:

Larry (leaning back as Paul gets in the car): You're not a serial killer or something are you?

Paul: Well, even if I was it's the Vineyard, and I'm on vacation. I'm not working.

Larry laughs, they shake hands, and drive off.

Larry: You know, I never pick up hitchhikers.

Paul: Not a bad commandment to live by.... Why me?

Larry: I have no idea. I just felt like I was supposed to.

They go on to talk about the meaning of life, the value of money, and belief in a higher power while trading comedic barbs.

It's a great story.
