Political Discussion

[On the elevator]

Well Dressed Gent Who Lives on the Top Floor: You're always carrying a book.

Me: I never go anywhere without something to read.

WDG: Maybe you could give one of your books to our president...

Me: I'm afraid he might try to read it upside-down.

WDG [laughs, bitterly]: You know, he calls the soldiers "kids." He says that they've lost their lives. They haven't lost their lives, their lives have been taken from them.

Me: It's terrible.

WDG: After all, those islamofascists did not kill anyone important, did they? No friends of mine worked at the Twin Towers.

The conversation of two self centered elitists.

Dogsbody: Romans 12:19.
