He has ambitions as a writer. He figures it's a good way of getting paid without really working... (grin)

Didn't you know that he writes a humorous column for the Sudbury Sapsucker? Officer Dana got him started on it when he was in the pen, and he has kept it going since, earning a few bucks on the side. His readers fall into 3 camps: those who think he's an incoherent idiot, those who think he's a brilliant comic pretending to be an incoherent idiot, and those who embrace his idiotic hoseristic values themselves. So far it seems to be working out okay. It's Trailer Park Boys for readers.
