“My
only problem with guns is that they make it far too easy for stupid
people to kill me.”
and
I tell ya that exorcist gal who piddled on the carpet caused less of
a ruckus then I did with what I thought was a pretty mild statement.
I wasn't even hinting at taking guns away from stupid people. With
that one fairly mild statement a seemingly reasonable rational woman
is transformed into a screaming ( I hope she doesn't chuck the
meatloaf at me ) nut job.
I
am now the enemy. The socialist comunist take your guns away big
brother loves you hippy freak.
(Ohh
god lord I do have a talent for saying precisely the wrong thing. If
only I could learn to use this power for good.)
Because
some one is now screaming at you, you feel the spines start to come
out the eyes are going cat feral, the teeth are growing sharp behind
a polite smile. You want to snap her heels together like a drill
Sargent to a fresh boot.
Check
it,
You
have a 'support our troops' bumper sticker on your car.
I
served in the army
you
'wanted' to join the army but couldn't lose enough weight to even
qualify for boot camp.
Your
husband of 5 years, is a nice fellow but, he is grand negas of the
local masons secret hide out
My
(ex now but 15 years married to ) was Army EOD that is bomb squad for
you civilians,
I
have owned guns, shot guns. I once got tossed out of Canada for
trying to drive through a bit of Canada with my gun locked and un
loaded in the trunk of my car. The Canadians were very polite but
quite firm. And told me to just go away and not try and slip back
across the border again, any time soon. But say like maybe in the
spring you can come back eh? I was very embarrassed.
I
don't say any of that. She is a nice lady,,usually. I keep my snark
in check. I try, very nicely, (I'm not yelling unlike some people)
to explain.
She
calls me naive
my
head explodes. It's not a big sound, just a small little pop.
Naive?
Naive?
This
from a woman who once got a butterfly tattooed on her shoulder and to
this day thinks, that was daring.
As
a retired whore there are a number of names I rather expected to be
called....naive was not one I had ever considered. Ok sure I look
like a perfectly normal person. It' not like I have retired whore
tattooed on my forehead. Not even sporting a red Letter A on my
clothes. (though I have considered it but decided it would come off
more Laverne and Shirley then as a political statement against
puritanism. )
But..
seriously how many dicks do you have to suck before that shiny penny
nimbus erodes? And what ever that number is, I'm pretty gol dern
danged sure I done past it waay back a when.
And
she is still yelling at me.
'If
you had EVER, any experience with crime and or bad guys, you’d
change your mind then. “ I retire to the living room pouring
myself an extra large drink on the way.
why
ohh why is it always me who has to be polite to people who yell
stupid shit at me? I'm the crazy person. I have fucking papers saying
I'm the crazy person. I'm the paranoid wack job here. If anyone's
going to be yelling about crime guns and conspiracies I feel it
should be me.
But it isn’t,
it never is.
