I'd love to go to a prom with a girl dressed in a tux, and me in my new pink tutu.
Do us a favor and shave oyour legs first, not while you drive?

------------------

Years ago I went to a store up the street from my house to get some brekkie stuff.

Since it was early on Saturday morning there was only one check out line open.

An elderly woman in front of me began to WAIL about the wait.

She was loud..."Oh my GOD, Why Do I HAVE TO Wait!!!!" She went on about her time in a concentration camp and how unfair it was for her to wait to be waited on...

I was pi$$ed and piped up......"Lady, we are all waiting...."

The cashier called the manager who opened up another line and took this woman as the first customer.

Here is a woman who probably spent time in hell during her life, survived it, then had to make a huge deal about waiting in line to buy groceries, years later?

Instead of thinking about how lucky she was to have made it that far-while millions of people around her died, she pulled the victim card out of the deck and played it.

How sad and pathetic it is to ride the coattails of the people who really did suffer during WWII...She survived and probably used that excuse how many times in the 40 years since????

I look at the Prom Idiot the same way.

Instead of being true to her 'cause', she has to shout about it and loses the respect that she may have earned had she kept her mouth shut and toed the line, like the rest of her classmates.

She put herself at the head of the queue...like any good groundbreaker she should accept the slings and arrows of the people who choose to wait or conform to the rules.

It reminds me of hanging out in the neighborhood, playing with the rest of the kids. Then, one of the little morons has to run to their mom, crying because of some stupid reason, which ruins if for everyone.

Ah, the Human Condition!
