Day 1: Roger gets hammered on benzos and bourbon, and staggers up to ECH & Richter, who are quietly discussing the price of various blunt and sharp objects down at the pub. Roger informs them both that they are motherfuckers, and he's going to kick both of their asses on the spot. ECH & Richter angrily stand up, and do all manner of grievous bodily harm to Roger, and throw him out in the back alley, to be molested by crackheads. Roger feels the pain, and thinks he has learned.
Day 2: Roger has another head full of booze and pills, and spying Richter and ECH at their table, decides they got lucky. He walks over and offers to skullfuck them both, individually or both at once. Richter and ECH stare at each other in disbelief, then bounce Roger off his drunk ass head a few times, then kick him all the way to the back door. Hello, crackheads. Roger feels the pain even more acutely, and thinks he has learned.
Day 3: Roger, drunk & hopped up on more pills, is going to teach those two assholes a lesson they won't forget. So he staggers up to their table, and attempts a sucker punch. He misses. Richter and ECH sigh in exasperation, and do the Chicago two step on his torso for 10 minutes, douse his hands in booze, and set them on fire. Then it's off to see the crackheads again. Roger feels that he has, in fact, this time, learned.
Day 4: ECH and Richter enjoy their drinks in peace, because Roger has in fact learned three things. What are those things?
SHUT UP is only one thing. :?
I'll admit, I'm actually stumped. Too stumped to even come up with a quip to respond with.
I shall reveal the answers tomorrow, though I suspect that by then, either ECH or Richter will have explained at least two of the three.
The logical conclusion is that Roger learned it's too much trouble to get out of bed after three days of that.
But that's just one thing.
Stumped.
1. Two on one only works in Kung fu movies.
2. Don't fuck with people you respect.
3. WHEN YOU'RE ON BOOZE AND PILLS, YOUR ACTIONS AND MOTIVATIONS ARE INHERENTLY SUSPECT.

All very valid, especially #3, but not where I was going.
1.) Insanity is repeating the same action and expecting a different result.
2.) Next time it won't be the hands that are doused in alcohol, judging by the escalation.
3.) The Chicago 2 step done by two people on one torso equals many broken ribs, which makes it hard to drink the bourbon and swallow the benzos.

Also very good. Also not where I was going. I am enjoying these though, keep them coming folks.
Skip the ECH and Richter harassing, skip from booze and benzos straight to the crackheads? :P
something along the lines of doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results each time being the definition of insanity
OR
people think they have learned something out of a past traumatic event just because of some "self growth" bullshit without actually doing any insight and true learning from the experience?
maybe im overthinking it

I like that second bit, there. Having smashed my head into certain brick walls dozens of times before something actually clicks, that sounds plausible. And lashing out at friends doesn't make you a badass, it just makes you an ass.
1 - Crackheads rarely move location until arrested.
2 - Booze and Pills can cause behaviour patterns that may be detrimental.
3 - It generally takes 3 beatings and fire to learn any lesson worth learning.
1) Moar booze
2) Moar pills
3) Chuck Norris DVD's
1. Learned behavior repeats no matter the external factors (punishment for the behavior doesn't stop the behavior, etc.)
2. Learned behavior can't (or is really difficult to) change because...
3. Learned behavior relies on egotism/self-bias. No matter the situation or the outcome the person is always right and everyone else is wrong. (Roger wanting to teach them a lesson because he thinks he's right, for example.)
1) Never give up trying, unless you get set on fire one time which is the only exception.
2) Crack-heads have a healing touch that allows you to fight on for days at a time though your body is mortally wounded in between.
3) Roger knew he would have won the fourth time, there was no need to humiliate them by actualising that truth.
1. Learning can be painful
2. and repetitive
3. especially for Roger.

This right here is the correct answer. I JUST KNOW IT.

DING
1. Learning is painful.
2. Not learning is MORE painful.
3. That pain can be administered in many ways.
Rant to follow.
There's another thing Roger should have learned which may have been overlooked:
DO NEVER attempt to get between ECH and his drink.
