Re: Beware 🏍

[Rick Shapiro]

I was confronted by the worst hoodlums in front of a local supermarket/
liqueur store. I parked my bike and headed towards them. They were eyeing
me and preparing for their assault. I thought about turning around but
really needed to grab some milk. As I got closer, they started to group
together. I looked for another way in, but the only way in was through
them. I clenched my fists, picked up speed, kept my eyes down, and went for
it. Long story short, I did not get away unscathed…. I ended up with a few
dozen boxes of Thin Mints, Peanut Butter Patties and Samoas. Those Girl
Scouts are ruthless!

Regards,


Rick
