So I called the number and a Mexican showed up with a tow truck...Go figure Spanner, get a tow truck and ask Jesus for direction....Those jumper cables could be your salvation...ticket to survival in powerless times. Not to discount that there may be extraterrestural agents at hand...Sly fucker them, could be the mutant next door sucking up your juices...You are not powerless as long as you keep the 12 gage handy and your powder dry... Maybe its time you got a stun gun, eh ? Ya dont have to kill em just stun them into respecting your property. Hot wiring that guys car might not have been such a good idea given your condition...could have been a shocking experience...An experience comes from good judgment, good judgment comes from bad experiences... What I love about drunks is they'er always enjoying the last bad experience...after the fact.... Well, Grandad, you are certainly a delightful experience everyday with your petulant posts...It's like Jim Morrison, a So Cal Dude I got to hang with sang, "Break on through to the Other Side" you are indeed a breakthrough to the other side of being , Irish, on this other side of America...We look forward to your next rant with pleasure..
