I was in an Olympia eating
Submitted by stevenl on Thu, 03/29/2007 - 8:27pm.I was in an Olympia eating establishment yesterday when a strange thing happened. A surly little fellow in faded festive garb entered the room and announced in a jaded monotone, "Ladies and gentlemen, it is my pleasure to present, The Smorgasboard of Delight!" And before anyone could say, "Hey, it's that guy who beats up his little friend," a very tired and worn out appearing fellow shuffled in, looked down, and without warning smacked the announcer across the room!
The place became silent, except for the heavy panting of the assaulter and the soft moans of pain from the assaulted. But, as luck would have it, a local law enforcement officer was present and he very professionally dealt with the situation. The little guy pressed charges and the assaulter was arrested.
The guilty party accept his fate with relief, "Thank God! Jail is going to be a welcome respite!" And then he said something about filing a lawsuit against oolyps.
The law enforcement officer, who seemed like a nice guy who had become a bit cranky since he was long overdue for a vacation, mumbled something to the arrested about, "What do you expect when you read that Pinko blog?"
But still, something about the whole episode made me feel proud for everyone involved.
