Bullshit Seeking Missile
Working in a bookstore you get all types that come in, I’ve had the normal ones, the obviously disturbed ones, the parents who can’t seem to control a 4 year old child, teenagers who hang around the Manga section for hours on end, and then there’s the worst kind – the loud, hate filled political ones.
They are the ones that for some reason or another, usually it is completely unconnected to anything you are talking to them about, suddenly make a very loud, vocal political statement that is so far off the deep end that you feel compelled to either try to ignore it entirely and pray that they don’t follow up with another comment or shoot them down where they stand with a well placed bullshit seeking missile.
The latest happened just yesterday. As workdays go it wasn’t a good or a bad day, it was just kind of there. I was helping a woman look up some romance novel that she was looking for when one of the girls in the cafe came on the PA system to make an announcement about a coffee special that they had upstairs.
For no reason at all this customer that I am helping says, “Oh my GOD! Whoever that is she sounds just as irritating as that little BITCH that is running for Vice President!”
“Really?” I replied, my retaliation systems already kicking in, “I don’t think she sounds like Joe Biden at all, but that could be me.”
I could tell by the look on her face she was stunned speechless. Guess she didn’t expect to find a Conservative in California.
Yea, the BS missile never misses.

Fantastic!
We pulled up at my in-laws house yesterday for our weekly family lunch only to find a Prius with a vote for change sticker in the driveway. We decided it would be best to assess the situation before bringing in the new shotgun to show off. In the kitchen, we found a liberal attorney friend of my in-laws. *sigh*
In the interest of a pleasant afternoon, we decided not to bring up politics. Until my mother-in-law decided it might be fun to stir something up and suggested the topic. I attempted to decline, but the attorney friend asked if I has strong opinions. I smiled and said that I did. She quite obviously assumed we had similar opinions and was eager to discuss. That was until I suggested that we could start with me removing my oh so stylish jacket to reveal the concealed handgun on my hip (said while pulling it open revealing the grip). She went pale.
We ending up discussing religion and food instead.

I love bursting liberal bubbles on occasion. Hence some of my more politically-charged blog entries. Well played, Instinct. Well played.

Thank you
I love your wife’s way of dealing with liberals. Direct, to the point and very, very effective

Dang, Wingleader, I’m jealous.
I always think of a statement like that 5 minutes after the libtard is gone. I guess that’s why I stick to the written word; the “insert” key is the greatest thing since sliced bread!

Reality is something most liberals aren’t well acquainted with. It’s fun to remind them from time to time.

Dang! As ginny said, I too, always think of zingers like that too late! Good one!

It’s what I’m here for Gatakitty and paulajeanne, to set an example of zingers that you can learn from and use as needed
