I'd hit the sumbitch forcing you to fish there in the mouth...in the event you are the sumbitch forcing you to do something that you don't like, you might consider the advice the doctor gave the person complaining that it hurt when he jabbed himself in the gut: "don't do that anymore..." To paraphrase Pogo, you have met the source of your hypocrisy and he is you... In your recent journey down thisaway, you had a chance to fish the last "wild" river around, the Pascagoula. Did you, perchance, avail yourself of the opportunity? If not, why not? maybe that's why I always let them go... To what fate? TC, R john |

Its kinda like sex in a whore house, yeh its "sex" but you still feel dirty for years afterwards. Same as shopping in Walmart. Frank Reid |

Is the same sumbitch forcing John to fish where he doesn't like to fish forcing you to not only to go to whore houses, but have sex in them, as well as to shop at Walmart? TC, R ....for example, I don't like anything about Starbucks, so I don't go there or drink their (alleged) coffee...and if it is a choice between their (alleged) coffee or no coffee, I choose no coffee...

In fact, I'd offer that you were notified _specifically_ that _you_, with the single condition that _you_ not _wear_ that particular shirt, were welcome, even invited, to return to that particular store. In fact, based on what you wrote, you were perfectly free to bring it into the store or wear it in the parking lot or to any other Walmart, and no one else was put on notice as to their being prohibited from wearing it at that particular store...the stated prohibition was specific - _you_ were asked not to _wear it_ _into_ _that_ store again...maybe they thought the color of the shirt didn't flatter your eyes in the store's lighting or something...
