About a Tough Guy
A few days ago I was at a local eatery. No, not a fancy eatery, it was Burger King - Home of the Whopper.
As I sat down to eat there was some child running back and forth in the restaurant and making loud and annoying noises. The child was not really to blame as it was his parents who were encouraging the running and yelling.
Politely, I asked them to reign in their child as it was rather annoying and I would very much like to eat in relative peace.
They said nothing.
As I got up to fill my cup-o-soda, the child continued his running and noise making. A quick glance at the parents saw them watching me, waiting to see if I would rise to their challenge.
Of course, being a me, I did. And, as I sat there, eating, I mimmicked the childs noises in a very loud manner.
Everyone turned to look at me except for the child who, I was told, stopped and reacted as if frightened by the bellowing person across the room.
The parents reacted angrily, hollering at me "he's just a baby".
To which I replied, "Aren't you are supposed to be adults? How about you try acting like it?"
This is when dear old Dad puffed up his mighty chest and threatened to kick my ass. Unfortunately, Mom, all 5 feet and 95 pounds of her had to restrain him from kicking my ass.
I sat, grinning at the hopes that I would have someone to scrap with.
Well, big bad dad, all puffed up and stuff, picked up his kid and started to leave the restaurant, hollering at how he wanted to kcik my ass. In fact, he wouldn't shut up about how he wanted a piece of me as he walked out of the restaurant.
Then, as he pulled his truck from the parking lot I could see him hanging out the window and shouting at me. I couldn't hear him. So, I grinned and waved and then blew a kiss his way.
Still he yelled. And still, he left without offering any follow up on his threats to me.
What kills me about this whole thing is that I never moved. I sat there waiting for him to come on over and do some damage. I told him to stop acting like an baby and to grow up. But the tough guy never did anything but pick up his kid and threaten to kick my ass.
What kind of pussy threatens to kick someones ass while holding his kid in his arms? What kind of scum bag uses his kid as a shield to keep from getting pummeled?
I hope that mister tough-guy reads this post. I hope that he now realizes what a pussy he really is.
Also, I hope he realizes what a lucky guy he is, 'cause cause I would have kicked his ass. Then, his wife would have left him for me and his kid would have looked to me to show him how to be a real man.
I rock!
