something to keep in mind

if you ever get arrested for murder, i think a good thing to do would be to start asking the cop who arrested you where he lives and if he has any family, and if he keeps his doors locked... then it would look like you're taking a personal interest in his life and safety and he might let you go because you've become friends.

Yes, that seems sensible. You could also ask after his mother, see if she's keeping well, that kind of thing. That would seem really polite.

d said...

excellent point. you shouldn't feel constrained to only ask about the wife and kids. appear interested in everyone he (or she) might be close to. pets too.

You are crazy, both of you.

I can't believe you wouldn't ask first and foremost about his or her health. That's the first thing I'd say. Sheesh.

d said...

t - i'm not crazy. and neither am i. i don't know about k though. yeah. i don't know about him either.

Much too subtle. You should take a cue from Mel Gibson and start out by slinging a racial slur at the arresting cop's chosen people to break the ice...then butter them up with such niceties as "sugartits" to secure your release. Or maybe that story didn't make it to canda. in which case, I've come across as mighty offensive.

d said...

mel who?

i heard about the mel gibson story but didn't really read it because i hate him. he killed my father. well, maybe not killed him, but he hurt him badly. hurt his feelings. you know...

kara said...

Well, I essentially filled you in on all the important bits. And you know it's true because I could never come up with something as glorious as "sugartits" on my own.

Oh, and as for your chair...let it squeak, cause even if you're NOT having sex in it...anyone who hears you will think that you ARE. Think of how cool you'll seem then. ("seem" will be used until I can verify that candy from a barn is not gross)

d said...

no... "seem" is the appropriate word regardless of whether or not you verify that candy from a barn is not gross.

THAT, i'm going to prove to you. well, maybe not prove... but i'm at least going to take a picture of the store so you can see how little it resembles a barn. if that's not enough proof, well, i don't know what to tell you.

kara said...

I'll await it with bated breath. My suspicion is that in Canada a "barn" is what we'd (in America) call a "strip mall". Ahhh cultural differences.

The Dog of Freetown said...

A strip mall?
America is so liberated.

d said...

so liberated, yet so deprived (due to a lack of bulk barns).

of course, if i had a choice between a strip mall and a bulk barn... i guess i'd still take the bulk barn.

kara said...

Our bulk lies where bulk belongs...in wearhouses where you have to find someone with a forklift to get you that 200 roll package of toilet paper on top of the stack. Oh yes, it does exist. And it lasted over a year.

This will never be settled until you come up with visuals. How's that coming?

d said...

not well kara. not well. and i wouldn't expect any visuals until at least next weekend since i'm heading out of town for the week. but fear not... i haven't forgotten. no no, it will happen. or maybe it won't. how the hell do i know?
