Tough guy

So I'm sitting here rasslin' with a spreadsheet and the radio had a "tough guy" story that I just couldn't pass up. Short version:

Kid finds severed finger. Gives it to police. Police tell newspaper. Newspaper writes story. BGuy reads story and calls the police, says he cut it off in a snowblower accident two weeks before, didn't bother to look for it.

Buddy, that's tough.

Tougher than woodpecker lips.

I blame lack of caffeine.

Coupled with morning, it's the greatest scapegoat in the universe.

I thought the strike was intentional, as in "Basta--- I mean, Guy..." 'Cause that IS one tough Basta.

Only a flesh wound.

That rises to the Mythical Chuck Norris level of tough.

(I have a student this semester who is, for some reason, fond of commenting, "Chuck Norris doesn't run out of time...time runs out of Chuck Norris." at odd moments).

Is it tough, or just stupid? Sometimes, it's a fine line between the two.

A fine, and often blurred, line.

Often bloody line, I would say.

Ricki - there are hundreds of those lines circulating on the internet. "Chuck Norris sleeps with the lights on... because the dark is afraid of Chuck Norris." And so forth.

"Is it tough, or just stupid?"

Maybe drunk?

Trust Emily to point a finger at Ken's mistakes.

And I'm glad that no one is out of joint over this story, I'll hand you that.

In the meantime, I have to knuckle down and pay some bills.....ta ta!

You guys do that just because you know how much I hate it, don't you?

I love you.

Aside from your dislike of bad puns, Emily, you are pretty hip.

And we kneed you.

In related news, Wendy's is doubling the guard on its chili tanks.

It's time to bring up the subject of non-alcoholic Guinness...

Did you guys here something? 'Cause I didn't.

Posted by: Emily at March 28, 2007 11:39 AM

I only heard the voice of David Niven from beyond the grave.

Hey Ken, did you hear that PBR wants to buy Diageo?

Posted by: John at March 28, 2007 12:06 PM

He cut his finger off but didn't bother to look for it? That's just lazy. I bet if he cut is head off he wouldn't do anything at all.
