Interesting experience in a local blog (I thought of the Dubs with those "well dressed" and "Apocalypse" comments):
Discussion I had with 2 Australian Conservation Foundation pan handlers this week.
ACFPH 1: As you know there’s a lot of concern with global warming, water, erosion blah, blah, blah… (at this point I rolled my eyes and lent against a wall)
ME: Yep.
ACFPH 1: What issues are you worried about?
ME: None. (Wish I’d said islamofascism and the Wallabies front row)
ACFPH 1 (incredulous): So you’re not worried about anything???
ME: Nup. I think global warming is a load of crap. I’m going to have to ask you guys to leave.
ACFPH 2: Aaaaaaaah so you’ll still be here when the WORLD DIES???!!!
ME: Yes, I will. See you later guys.
(ACFPH 1&2 storm out and slam office door.)
Quite confusing really. I was so steamed up, I couldn’t say all the things I’d wanted to say. Bastards caught me by surprise by being well dressed. I’d guessed they were going to ask about changing phone carrier. I’m just glad we both assume I’m going to survive the apocalypse.
N.B. The comment by ACFPH 2 - is Global Warming the new Armageddon?
