Talk To Me
Yeah. Tax dollars at work. :-/
I have a question, though. How old is that girls mother? I had to watch it twice to make sure the woman they interviewed was the mother...I thought she was the older sister! Wow, she looks young. To me she looks about 12. Or maybe I'm just old?
Kim, you are right. She does look very young.
She also looked like she could be the sister of the young banjo player in Deliverance.
Ohhhhhh...that movie. That movie totally freaked me out. I saw it the day after we had gone canoeing up in the NC mountains somewhere near Asheville. We were out with some friends, just canoing along, minding our own business, when suddenly this total moron on the banks started SHOOTING AT US! He wasn't actually shooting at us, but he was obviously intoxicated and he was throwing beer cans into the river and shooting at them, coming really close to us. I was NOT pleased. That night we watched Deliverance. I have not been canoing since and have no plans to ever go again! :-o Just thinking about that day and that movie makes me shudder! :-o
There is a big difference between getting drunk and shooting some things in the river (who hasn't done something like that?) and telling someone to squeal like a pig.
We shot sporting clays once after a couple of beers and tied a NC Champion, hitting 19 of 20 birds. Gate was truly one with the gun. Had a rematch when we were sober and did not hit a thing.
Saying that, the wife did look like her parents were 1st cousins or closer. Cute kid, though.
Ummm. I've never fired a gun in my life. I've never even held one. So, no, can't say as I've ever gotten drunk and shot things in a river! Alcohol and guns aren't a real good mix. :-o And that guy almost hit us. That was the horrible part.
My husband has a nephew who is really good with a gun. He's won all sorts of stuff and every Christmas some sort of ammo is on his list. He's also a cop, so I guess it's good that he's a good shot.
Mr. Eakes, I am going to return to the diapered juror. You might find this funny too. And it is true! My sister-in-law lives in Mass. and the state pays her to keep a 35 year old autistic man who is full grown but mentally less than a year; can't talk or take care of any of his needs. He just walks and mutters to himself all day long. Well, he was summons for jury duty. Georgia called them and explained the circumstances; even giving them his case number and case workers phone #. They wouldn't believe her or check into it, but insisted that he had to come to jury duty. On the given day Georgia took Mike down to the court house, sat him in the lobby and took his summons and diaper bag to the lady at the desk and then left. When she came back two hours later they were all frantic and had no idea what to do with him. Of course he had had his morning constitutional by that time too. Georgia had covered herself by getting the name of the person she had talked to so she gave this information, time and date of call to the security people before she took Mike home. I believe they took Mike off the jury rolls, don't you?
Brenda,
I like the way your sister-in-law thinks. I don't know how many people would have had the courage to do that!
Georgia is a 5'1" bundle of chutzpah and a real entertainment to watch. she is also a kind and loving human being I am so happy to have met in this lifetime.
Brenda, that is a great story, and I salute Georgia for taking care of the man. That is a tough job.
By the way, please call me Patrick.
