musings of wrath

… who shamelessly lifted it from ’s LJ:

“… there were protesters on the train platform handing out pamphlets on
the evils of America. I politely declined to take one. An elderly woman
was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20ish) female
protester offered her a pamphlet, which she politely declined. The young
protester put her hand on the old woman’s shoulder as a gesture of
friendship and in a very soft voice said, “Ma’am, don’t you care about the
children of Iraq?”

The old woman looked up at her and said, “Honey, my first husband died in
France during World War II so you could have the right to stand here and
bad mouth your country. And if you touch me again, I’ll stick this umbrella
up your ass and open it.”

I first saw that on Jerry Pournelle’s site. Interesting no?

Go granny, go!
