So I go to the gas station tonight to fill up for tomorrow and pull into a gas pump next to the store. My dogs are in the car and I have the windows down enough they can get their heads out. Some crack head girl (I think literally, skinny as crap, face all wrinkled, and lips all cracked) comes out and starts bitching that if my dogs get out and bite her that "In this here economies I'm gonna get paid if they bite me" (her word was "economies" not mine) and tells me to roll the window up. I glance up and keep pumping my gas. So she comes over about 2 feet from me and asked if I heard her. I told her yes but was not sure what an "economies" is/was (I don't even know how to tense that).
Needless to say she made some empty threats and when I just stood there and laughed she got all upset and.... this is the best.... walked on down the street cracking open and sipping her "40" in a brown bag she had just bought.
It made me think of my earlier post where the dad made the kid stand on the corner with his sign about getting 3 f's in school. Maybe if her dad had done the same she would not have been buying a "40" in this "economies".
