24. I think this is a strange form of humor, but I can't be sure

If anyone knows Julian Assange personally, please set me straight on this. Apparently he thinks he knows Junior well enough to joke around with him. (He doesn't and this isn't funny. It's weird and pathetic.)

But Assange lives in a strange world with no real friends so he must think that strangers who read his tweets are actually his "friends." He's been a troll for so long that he doesn't know how to not troll. That's how I'm reading this, but I could be wrong.

As for Junior, it seems that he's flattered enough to receive an email from a world-famous person and he saves it in his archive. If I ever got an email from Julian Assange, I'd never see it because it would go directly into my spam file and be deleted.
