Default A new roff advantage

Imagine a very narrow levee road, dirt, and muddy, a very wet pasture on one
side ( about a three foot drop ) and a water filled ditch on the other ( 5
or 6 foot drop).

My idiot neighbor ( the one and only one on this street with a Bush in 04
sign, and his own shooting range for his assault weapons ) tried to back a
full sized semi truck with about a 40 foot dump trailer loaded with rock
down it. It's now jack knifed, the trailer in the pasture, the rear wheels
of the tractor in the ditch.

They are out there trying to pull it out with a .... no lie ... two wheel
drive 1/2 ton Chevy pickup. One of those huge wreckers designed for semis
will have a tough pull with this job.

As I watched them, I was able to mumble under my breath a long string of "
numbnut, dickwad, ****head putz" style comments on their intelligence that I
might never have known without roff "culture" .... long live roff culture

I don't know how they will get it out tonight, OR keep their cows in, as the
tractor is part way out the gate. Any other nieghbor and I'd be out there
helping ... this one and I'll go out to giggle every so often

So, roff taught you how to properly hate, or what?

It's quite possible that learning roff "culture" could lead
to a rewarding career in the airline industry.

SWMBOs plane left Monterey, CA behind schedule due to fog on
Thursday morning. However, when they finally got to LAX she
and the others who were connecting to Chicago discovered that
they could JUST make their flight. So they hustled to the
counter where they were told, yes, your plane is still boarding
but you can't get on it because we've already given your seats
away. Why did you give our seats away, they asked, because we
didn't know you were coming.

So the lady in line right in front of the wife goes ballistic.
WE WERE ON A %$#$*&^ AMERICAN CONNECTING FLIGHT YOU *&^$^*)(!!
SON OF A ^%$#@#%& , HOW IN THE *&*(*&^ COULD YOU (*&^%$#%&
*&^%$#@!! (*&^%$#@!!! )(****&^%$#@!! IDIOTS HAVE NOT KNOWN
WE WERE COMING!! And on and on at high volume and in high
dudgeon until there were three airline people at the counter
and mention was made of calling security. The wife turned to
the guy behind her and said, you know I feel the same way,
but she said it so perfectly I don't have to.

So I'm thinking, what if ballistic lady wasn't a fellow
passenger at all but a roff trained plant hired by the
airline ?

Even more to the point, did they call security and did or did not SWMBO and
BL get on the flight? Or at least get a good room, a nice meal, a bump up to
Republican Class and some rather trite apologies?

Nope, ballistic lady's "roff culture" did her no good but they
didn't call security on her. The wife, and I assume BL, got on
the next flight from LA to Chicago without so much as an apology
from American Airlines. Of course by the time the wife got to
Chicago she'd missed the last (10:30 p.m.) flight into Champaign.
At that point the airline offered to go halfsies on a room at
some fleabag motel near O'Hare. She declined and spent the night
with a friend who lives in Chicago. She finally got in to town
at 2:30 the next afternoon about 28 hours after she left Monterey.

Larry, believe me when I say, "No one gives a **** about your numbnut,
dickwad, ****head putz" style comments on their intelligence." The
only thing your post accomplishes is show you up to be a numbnut, a
dickwad, and a ****head putz.


Well, dang, and I thought I was finally getting a feel for roffian behavior

No offense intended.


None taken, takes a lot more than that to offend me ...
