DUMB Dad (nyc)
so here I am walking on a side street shclepping my 2 Trader Joe bags when dad and his kid come up the block in the opposite direction.
The kid is not holding dads hand and bumps into me and my bags. Nothing tragic. He doesn’t fall even or cy or anything. So I continue.
about 20 seconds later I hear dad blurt out, ‘watch where your going’. I turn around to see dad and kid stopped up the block.
I’m totally surprised, and a little pissed, so I yell back ‘watch your kid’ or hold your kid. dad gets irate yelling back at me.
finally i’ve had enough of him and yell, ‘fuck you’. He say’s ‘what’?
I retort, ‘you heard me, FUCK YOU!’
Now he’s about to make a move in my direction. He’s half my age and twice my size, me 58 but in good shape.
I reach into my pocket for my keys, figuring if he closes in on me, I’m going to key him in his face.
But he backs off, finally using his pint size brain and walks away like cowardly dick he is.
I conclude it’s time to buy some mace. Too many assholes in this fucked up city. This shit ONLY happens in NY.

The Year 2017 (Nuclear Winter Wasteland)
Well it’s year 2017. A bomb goes off in Times Square. It’s not a real nuclear bomb as we have created but a dirty bomb.
