My daughter's Parisian Waiter reacts to Latest US Shooting

Last edited Thu Feb 15, 2018, 03:41 PM - Edit history (1)

My daughter is in Paris, her 1st trip abroad. It's her birthday today. I asked her if she had heard about our latest school shooting.....

She replied, "Oh yes, it's all over the news. Last night we went to a bistro and a server who barely spoke English asked where we were from. We said US, and his response was “oh bang bang”. He then gave us the father, son, Holy Ghost over his heart and said “I pray for you.”

Are we great yet?

Greatest country in the world has hundreds shot by domestic terrorists every year.

But... 2nd Amendment...
How about the 6th Commandment? Sorry #2 is always better than #6.

As I heard someone say somewhere (everywhere?) "Take your thoughts and prayers and shove them up your ass.."
