for a summer art course. The guy who taught the students that trick was the real life Kojak. I still carry tjem that way...with one key sticking out between each finger. Scratch the guy's face. Too bad pumps aren't in style, that was "trick #2" in self defense on the street.

That list is a strong visual. Sort of like the chart comparing the lies Ford told compared to Kavanaugh's that was printed in a Vox article.

Never came close. Even in the “free love” 70’s.

Never had to think of it even.

Had me some mashy employers but none that went beyond me looking at them with WTF? on my face. Never had to quit or transfer or felt any retaliation after any episode.

Didn’t realize how blessed I was til recently.

Thanks men in my life.
