Ok, let's get something straight. In my other life, I threw rocks and tried to end with a thud the lives of fat, gray squirrels, big black crows, scampering chipmunks, and loads of nasty pigeons. Thank goodness I had a bad aim, because I missed them all, and I threw A LOT of ammo. After revealing all that, this next line might throw you for a loop. Would you believe me, if I told you, that I never hurled a stone in anger or in fun at a glass window? It's true. Never threw, broke and ran. Never! File this fact under one of those mysteries of life that I've talked about before. And I had many a chance. A shattering revelation, I know.
"For all your valiant attempts to end the lives of those varmints and such... two Our Fathers and one Hail Mary, son."
Why do you think that is?
ReplyDeleteall of your shots are so unique!
ReplyDeleteI believe you, but I bet if you had clobbered some poor squirrel and it fell dead at your feet you would have been seized by remorse. I know that from experience.
ReplyDeletei'm not the least surprised by this revelation. you are a mischievous spirit but not a malicious one.
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine you doing that either Birdman, it doesn't seem to be your style. Excellent yarn!
ReplyDeleteYeah, like a couple Our Fathers will get you off the hook! Sheesh! My confession would include the fact I have a better aim and sent a number of such critters to their final nesting place. But I'd never say that in public!
ReplyDeletewell, i am a bit surprised. :)
