Elmer Poole puts the finishing touches on his painting at The Do-Over House rehabilitation center.
"I came in here three weeks ago," Poole said. "I haven't thought about taking a drink the whole time. I'm ready to go. Somebody call me a cab."
The Do-Over House therapist Benjamin Feely expressed his elation with Poole's quick turnaround. "It seems to be the way of The Do-Over House. A lot of clients come through those doors, but not many find comfort in our beds," Feely explained.
"Once I got in here we were flipping clients faster than pancakes on a hot griddle. Easy in, fairly easy out. It's better that way, no one has to know."
Feely, who sports a black T-shirt with white lettering that reads OFUGFU (Only F*ck Ups Get F*cked-Up), said he is currently merchandising an entire line of OFUGFU products with artwork created by the residents. "One day OFUGFU will be a household word."
CLAYVILLE COMMENTS...
Elmer's nickname used to be "Martini" with his buddies. We'll have to come up with a new one now that he's clean. As Elmer's oldest pal, I'll try to yell "oh, fugfu!" instead of my usual. At first people will think I'm speaking Japanese but fugfu it – who cares?
