Well considering everything that Forrest Gump accomplished in his fictitious
life, you have to say that he was a pretty bright guy. Let's see, he
invested in Apple stock, won a Medal of Honor, established a shrimp company,
etc., etc. I'd say strictly from his poor grammar and writing style that
English is a second (or third language) for this guy. He probably just needs
a manual written in his native tongue (Afghani??)--:-)
