I was a guest of a homeless shelter, not the county slam. Not that I might not go along with a save the taxpayers money plan, I'd have to get a fairly good rate to go that far.
I don't know if I'd want to be in the professional assassin business.
But the way you pretend to misunderstand what I'm writing sounds too much like a game of 'telephone' where you tell someone something, they tell someone else, and so on, and so on, and by the time the 10th person has heard it the message has absolutely no relationship to what you said.
Bob McAlister used to do it on his 'Kids are People Too' show that first started on Metromedia stations (the predecessor to the Fox network) before he moved to ABC. He'd tell one kid a message. He'd bring in the next kid, and he'd just stand and watch (with the camera and mic) as they told the next kid, and this one told the next, and that one told the next. By about 4 or 5 it started to get hilarious as you could see the message becoming completely irrelevant and unrelated to what was originally said.
To show that he was being fair, he'd read the original message off of a card. You start off with something like "Pat Gatty wants 2 pounds of pork sausage," and the message becomes so garbled that you might end up with something like "Bat Guano stinks so bad I wanna puke."
