When I was in the 5th or 6th grade there was a convenience store down at the end of the road, about half a mile. And about halfway between my house and there lived a man in a wheelchair. And he would sit out at the edge of the road until a kid come by, and he would give him some money and send him to the store to bring him back a pack of cigarettes and a loaf of bread and a pack of Bologna. And for running this fair and (ERRAND, get the peanut butter out your ears otto) the man would give you a dime. Never heard of anybody taking his money and not coming back. Christmas that year I went down to the same convenience store where I had been buying cigarettes for this man all summer, and I bought a five pack of Tampa Nugget cigars for my father's Christmas present. I was 11 years old. They had no problem selling me cigarettes and cigars. I didn't need no note. My mother used to give me notes like that. I also never had a problem getting her the smokes. Eventually though, I rebelled and told her that I wouldn't do it anymore. Mom didn't like that I wouldn't get them for her, but she respected my decision not to do so. I hated the things then and I hate them even more now. They did eventually kill my Dad at only 69 years old. 2 Quote

I've heard liberals say they really think there shouldn't be any billionaires, that's pretty goofy but it's not any goofier than this. 1 1 3 1 Quote

Alpo Posted July 8 Posted July 8 My scoutmaster told me one time -- we were in summer camp and the latest thing to do was come up behind somebody and grab the garter tassel on them long socks and pull it down. Make your sock fall. And we're headed down for breakfast - we ate breakfast and we ate lunch in the mess hall, and we cooked supper in camp - and somebody come up behind him and grab the tassel, and he backhanded him off the trail. Then he picked him up and apologized, and told him "don't come up behind me anymore". He told me that he does not allow people to come up behind him like that. He said he was in a bar one time and somebody come up and tapped him on the shoulder and when he turned around the guy punched him in the mouth. Then he apologized - I'm sorry, you're not who I thought you were. And Bob knocked him to the ground and kicked him in the face. But he said he does not like people to come up behind him anymore. And that poor little Boy Scout paid the price for that man in the bar hitting Bob in the mouth. 1 1 Quote
