Lucy, the chemist and the village idiot

• He absolutely loves "I Love Lucy" but has never once watched an episode in its entirety.
• He owns multiple copies of all 179 episodes but hasn't bothered to open half of them.
• He knows all the dialogue word-for-word and wanders the street muttering the lines to himself.

His name is Shane and I guess he is what you'd call our village idiot.

Every Friday, Shane works for two hours for the local chemist stacking shelves. And every Friday, without fail, the chemist walks him home and they watch half an episode of "I Love Lucy". Life is not easy for Shane; the poor bugger has the patience of a five year old kid and the diagnosed intellect of a nine year old but he never stops smiling. Something I wish many more people could do. 

Now my suburb was once described by a newspaper article as boring. But with colourful characters like Shane... like loudmouthed Larry, bug-eyed Bruce and the bearded lady wandering the streets, I ask you how could anyone consider this suburb boring?
