I think at the end of the day to choose a job where people are shooting a hard rubber disk at you as hard as they can indicates a certain amount of 'crazy' is inherently required.

Now....where you place on the 'Crazy Spectrum' seems to be entirely arbitrary and up to personal preference.

You got Kipper 'Nothing Bothers Me' Crazy and you've got Ron "I'm gonna feed you my blocker' Hextall crazy.

You've got to be on that spectrum someplace....just not in the middle. Because in the middle you get....Markstrom.
