Time to quit

Not blogging, that I'll continue to do as a means to vent and mock. There are certainly a long list of things I should quit but won't. I quit smoking thirty years ago. I quit drinking twenty years ago. There are a lot of vices I continue to cling to like my guns. What I am quitting for now is attempting to understand liberal kids. Its a long story. A friend and I journeyed to Wichita for the gun show this weekend. The Chisholm Trail Antique Gun Association Annual Gun Show was a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, and we got a few good deals. When we got tired of the show and hit the road, we stopped for fuel and feed at the nearest gas station which had a Wendy's right behind it. I got my meal and sat down, but my friend tok a very long time. I'd sat all the way in back, so couldn't hear what transpired except for a couple of blurbs, "attitude like that.... Fired..... crappy burger..." and a few others. A biker and his rider came in at some point, and I heard him clearly say, "I'll take one of your crappy cheese burgers if you don't mind." Well, that really got me curious. Whne my friend finally joined me, I asked what it was all about. Seems that while he was waiting for his baked potato, one of the kids there said he wished people would quit coming in, and that the food was just crappy burgers like McDonalds. My friend started his work life in a Wendys, and is a big fan of the chain though, and he told the kid that with out customers, he would be out of a job, and tried to explain how capitalism works. Thats was when the biker who had heard it all asked for a crappy cheese burger. That biker btw is a highly successful business man, and he told the snot that with an attitude like that, he would fire the dumbass. My choice of words, not his. So what we had there was a dumb ass in dead end job, no desire for advancement who wanted the reason for him even having a job to just go away. He thinks he will continue to get paid if there is nothing for him to do. My real bet is that the main reason he was there was to hit on the attractive gal who was manning the register. She seemed to have a brain though so i give him the same odds in that department as I give the Jay Hawks of winning the big twelve.

And my bet is, the young jerk probably started smoking dope at around 11 or 12 years old. Most stoners are not only incapable of logical thought, they are really, really, lazy. They are the ones who can't do fractions or even do long division without a calculator.......
