My image!!! Old man. There was another historical character who had a few big ideas, didn't always play by the rules and had some outrageous ideas about peace and love - had long hair and had to suffer the vilification of lesser beings who could not see his purer intent!
Can't remember what they did to him, but it was really bad, and apparently it really hurt as well!
Tell her i have a beer-matt collection. That always works...
