post a commentReally,now, where is your sense of proportion? On May 6th, your "Scary photos" post showed that, apparently, no one is home in North Korea. In the meantime, I have to check out "Savage Chickens" to discover that today is International Talk Like a Pirate Day. The Old Timer
Man, I wish I had remembered to post that. It *IS* International Talk Like A Pirate Day, and everyone had better recognize. Do your parrrrrrrt.
We are not at all sure what you mean by "trusting" this particular psychopath.
We are reminded of a particularly serious and intense discussion at a parent/teacher association meeting at a school which shall remain nameless. The subject matter was the likelihood of unwise personal interaction between 16-year-old persons of the opposite sex if left largely unguided and unsupervised.
A very serious young mother (no doubt holder of multiple advanced degrees from Ivy League institutions), inclined her nose upward and sniffed, "Well, I don't know about you, sir, but I trust my 16-year-old daughter completely."
Unfortunately, this provoked rather a loud explosion of laughter from your correspondent (of that sort that can result in milk shooting from one’s nose, were one drinking either milk or white russians).
When that situation was resolved, we observed, "But madame, I have complete confidence in both your daughter and my son. I am certain they will behave like healthy 16-year-olds. THAT's what I'm AFRAID OF!"
