Howzit goin' ?????
The first weeks outta surgery are the toughest, so please let us know if we need to be sending you corny jokes, arguing about political debates .....
( HERE in Canada folks .... you USA buddies have enuff on your hands with
The Donald ... NO ....Trump ... NOT Duck
)
FYI Carm .. I had a couple of fresh faced doorstep canvassers at my door tonight .. wearing and carrying RED brochures. One was even named Justin ...
so I said " Shouldn't you be back in Ottawa polishing up for the next debate ?" they laffed, looked at me as I delivered my pre-emptive doorstep counterstrike ....
" I do not discuss politics, religion or business on my doorstep and since the election is a private vote I will tell you that I have voted in every election since I was legal and will not discuss anything with you now. "
I was being very pleasant and smiling.
They thanked me for my time, wished me a nice evening, graciously accepted back the RED brochure they were trying to hand me and ....
said " it was a pleasure talking with me .. "
I lock up and think ... Hmm OK they have presence of mind, are courteous and friendly and "get the message" ...do NOT preach ME or speech ME on my home turf ....... THEN .... it dawned on me walking past the entry hall mirror....
I am wearing my black Muay Thai kickboxing T-shirt I use for BBQing ( 'cos it don't stain ! ) ... AND ...
I am not wearing my usual baseball cap down low to hide the recent scar from my
kickboxing loss to my stack stone fireplace facing
SO.... these two great kids read the signs right
NOT interested in discussing politics
has recent head wounds
wearing "aggressive" T-shirt
summarily dispatched them quickly on their way !!!!!
DAMN they have a future in something ... just NOT as politicians ... 'cos THEY NEVER KNOW WHEN TO back OFF !!!!
Hope this gave you a smile Carm
Heal gently and let us know what we can do to support you...
