Whoops: Getting the name of the script only stack an handler is in

[Bob Sneidar]

Ah yes then, me refers to the object the script belongs to. With behaviors, me refers to the *instance* of the script which is "owned" by the object being interacted with. "this me" refers to the actual behavior script. What you want is "this me".
