I'm sorry :(

It must be a shitty week if you forgo the chance to use the phrase "choke your chicken" in a literal sense.

She won't be choked so it won't be literal. Sorry to disappoint. :(

(I stop a young, 20-something woman for using her cell while driving in an active school zone.)
Me: “I stopped you, ma’am, for using your phone while driving in a school zone, which is against the law.”
Driver: “I am not calling anyone or texting, so I am not using my phone. I was updating my Facebook status!”
(After citing her, we both pull away from the curb. I then witness her using her cell AGAIN, so I stop her once more.)
Me: “Ma’am, I have already explained and cited you for the very same reason I am pulling you over the second time. I do not want to have to arrest you, so please do not use your phone while driving again.”
Driver: “One more time, officer, I am NOT calling or texting! I am uploading a picture of my citation to Pinterest!”

Cellphones are gonna be hazardous no matter what apparently.

I never worked retail, but I find a lot of the stories to be credible, based on the idiocy that I have unfortunately seen occur first-hand nearby.

Damn my father's need to see the Holy Land (which is not Mecca for us you bastards).

Coming back from Tel Aviv tomorrow, the Hilton is like super fancy.

Israel is crazy amazing but the people are like insane about security. And they can't imagine they've done anything wrong in regards to the Palestine issue. All in all amazingly beautiful and ancient but I don't know if I could live in a place where paranoia is the daily bread and butter.

Did you get to see Mecca?
