Me: Do you wanna know where the word assassin came from?
Rational Investor: Some guy got banged in the ass??
Me: Do you wanna know where the word came from? Yes or no?
Rational Investor: I guessed it.
Me: No.It’s from the Arabic hashshashin, ‘ hashish-takers,’ who were members of a fanatical Muslim sect whose creed sanctioned their adversaries’ murders. Allegedly, the assassins drugged themselves in preparation for the murders.
Rational Investor: That’s cool.
Moments later… I grab my notebook and start writing.
Rational Investor: Are you writing about assassins?
Me: Yes.
Rational Investor: Put it on Streetverse.
