I ♥ NY!

This morning, I was a little early for our scout (both days went very well, thank you very much), so I stopped to kill time getting a cup of coffee. As I was leaving, I spotted a much older woman on her way in. This was a woman clearly from old money...wearing a full length mink; hair coiffed to within an inch of its life.

Having been raised in the genteel South, I held the door for her. We've discussed elsewhere our disdain for people who fail to acknowledge such courtesies, but I need to know...is there any proper response when such a blue-blood shrieks at the top of her lungs, "Get away from me you fucking maniac!"?

I thought it was funny so I laughed...for the next three blocks.

I think laughing was probably the only response you could make.

Sounds like someone's off her meds. Jeesh!

Well, not the only response:

• Full-length fur<--quart of red paint

• Nathan, sotto voce: "Husk," and hits shoulders with her.

• Nathan, larghetto: "GET THROUGH THAT GODDAM DOOR!"

• Tears.

Hack her to pieces with your axe while screaming, "Mommy hates naughty children!" at the top of your lungs?

At the top of your lungs:

"YOU'RE WELCOME!!!"

- Whoa, sorry, I saw that coat and just assumed you liked it doggy style...but, hey, if you wanna be on top, that's OK with me.

This is what I do.

"It's my BIRTHDAY, you stuck-up twat!"

Happy Birthday, Nathan.

Oh my, I think laughing was a good one. Of course if any of Jim's ideas had just popped into your head...

Happy Birthday!

BTW Happy Birthday Nathan.

I hope nobody screamed at you this morning.

Ahhhh, I see you've finally had enough! And who's the maniac here? You know not a lot of guys could handle a woman like you. I have to read books on the outside just to keep up!
