This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Maybe. Or maybe he's a lawyer. Then again, what's the difference!

I hope to someday use my clout for personal gain too

Before becoming president

I don't think the story implies clout was used for this. Just a play on words to make the conductor think there would be a crowd boarding rather than an individual
