Having fun With Bubba

Just got back from delivering my wife into the hands of the government for the day. It was an opportunity to tweak the 300 pound enforcers guarding the place, and they gave me the perfect opportunity.

While I was emptying my pockets in preparation to go through the metal detector, a guy just waltzed in, bypassed the storm troopers and the detector... and went inside.

Not being one to pass up such a juicy opportunity, I looked at the enforceer standing there and--pointing to the guy who just went inside--asked if I could do the same thing.

"No, you can't."

"So why could he?"

"He's works here... he's an employee."

So, with all seriousness, I Said:

"And just who is doing all the shootings in post offices around the country? Employees, that's who, and you're letting employees in here without so much as a nod?"

"Well, we know who they are, it's OK."

"For all you know, he just went off the deep end like a postal employee, has a gun in his pocket, and may be getting ready to shoot up the place. Every time you let anybody in like that, you put your job on the line."

Just try to guess what he said next:

"You shouldn't talk to an armed officer like that."

Yeah, man.

Holy cow. Talking to an armed officer like should be no problem, but evidently you shouldn't talk to "an asshole with a gun" like that.

Security: strict for non-preferred citizens.
Professionalism: optional.
