Just write something completely goofy!
by awildflower inso this is inspired by my favorite poet edgar allen john doe!
sometimes we just need to say something completely goofy to relieve tension and have fun.
the pineapple king, with a feather in his hat and a spring in his step, finally helped the chicken cross the road!.

Hey it doesn't bother me about being pulled, what bothers me are the arseholes who go on about civil liberties all the time.
So, I take it then that you would have no problem if a cop sees you and without suspecting you of any unlawful behaviour whatsoever, decides to publicly detain you and make you empty all your pockets and frisk you, in full view of your neighbors and when you have an important appointment that you are late for. In fact, the cop simply does it because he doesn't like the color of your hair, or your ethnicity, or the cologne you're wearing, or your gender, or your dress, or any irrelevant thing. You also would not have a problem with cops entering your home without permission and ransacking your place. You would have no problem with being held at gunpoint and not allowed to leave until you've answered invasive and personal questions. Furthermore, you would have a problem with people who speak out against this. After all, privacy is not important if you have nothing to hide, right?
What planet are you from?

Today, I saw a man smoking and coughing as he complained about having no health care and no money.

"Hi! How you doing?!"
Me, I don't make eye contact, I check my mail and pretty much ignore them, muttering back "I'm fine."
I have my Tony Stewart Home Depot cap on, and they say "Are you a Nascar fan?"
"Nah, not really" I say, hoping to shut them up. I walk to my car, and the taller dude physically jumps in front of me and sticks his hand out, which I grudgingly shake.
Now, at this point, I felt I'd given every indication I can without actually saying it to leave me the hell alone. But this only seems to make them stronger in their sales pitch. They say "We represent the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints, and we're missionaries sharing with people how they can blah blah blah. Blah blah blah."
I give him 20 seconds or so as I wait for a pause to say I'm not interested. I'm meanwhile unlocking my car door. When I realize he's not going to shut up for the forseeable future, I say "Look, I'm not interested." In any dialect of English, that means buzz off, right?
Well, the other one pipes up and says "Oh, are you familiar with our church? Who else have you talked to? What do you think of our church?"
I said "I'm really not interested." Twice. That should be enough, right? Forget it. They then start in on their spiel again. And I cut him off and say "LOOK, I AM NOT INTERESTED!"
Game, set, match, right? Wrong. "Ok, that's understandable, would you direct us to someone else we can help?"
Ahggggg. I'm wanting to pull my freaking hair out. "No, I really can't recommend you to anyone. I don't believe in what you're doing." as I get in my car, shut the door, and leave before they can say anything else. They leave, meekly looking down like I'd just dumped wet water on them.
Now, I ask, why do we allow these people to go so far beyond the realm of politeness? These guys had me steaming by not respecting what I was unmistakeably telling them, and butting in where they were not invited. What would you have done?
