Quote: " Although most of my neighbors were unemployed he didnt want them to think he was jobless. So he got in his car each morning at the same time and drove off as if he was going to work. Then in the evening he would return at exactly the same time." from Charles Bukowski's Ham on Rye

Question: I found out this past week that the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. Although Mr. Bukowski, doesnt tell us if the Mr Chinaski is going out every morning to get a job. But the way he describes it makes me think that Mr. Chinaski is crazy, because it says that he does the same thing over and over. So my question is what does he do everyday?

Comment: I think that Mr. Chinaski goes out far from the street he lives on because if he is to proud to be unemployed, then that probably means that he is to proud to be seen by any body who might live by him. I think he goes to the same place everday, because it says he goes and returns at the exact same time everyday, and I think it is probably a bar because when he gets home he usually gets mad at Henry for a dumb reason. Now I dont know if I am right, and there is know feasible way that I can know if I am right so I will just go on a hunch that I have that tells me that he goes to a bar, everyday.
