Deju vu ... a retired naval Captain that I work with said
something similar
this week at work ... something about, don't we have anyone
with a vowel in
their last name we can send to teach 'em some sense (there's
little doubt
from knowing this gentleman he was referring to someone of
Italian decent
and mafia affiliation) ... I immediately piped in with,
someone like
O'Hara? Or does the IRA limit themselves to killing women and
children?
Got deathly silent there for a moment ... the retired Captain
being Irish
Catholic. Much like puppies if you rub a bigot's nose in it
... they at
least shut up.
