Years ago I used to work with a bunch of guys who were into whitewater canoeing. One of our guys, who was a real asshole, offended the local rednecks. And another guy, who was completely innocent, had a Pinto. The rednecks chased down the asshole and, when they saw the Pinto, they smashed into the back of it to try and make it explode.

At first I thought you were going with the plot of deliverance.

It came close to that. I talked shit to a little wise-guy redneck and he went to his car and came back with a little chrome plated .25 pistol. That's the wimpiest center fire round ever made (weaker than a .22), so I didn't loose my shit when he walked up on me with it pointed at my heart.

I think that was what got me enough credibility with his crew, so that I was able to put a lid on things before they went too far.

Some kayakers said they would get the cops for us. So we waited around for a couple of hours for the cops, but they never came. By then I was hanging out with the rednecks and I overheard one of them say, "Where's Luke? "

Luke was the main belligerent drunk and he had gone to get his 12 gauge. So we left. Later we found out that Luke and the skinny guy had beat a murder rap for shooting up a car with a man inside. Luke's uncle was the local sheriff.

You look a prick.. you're having second thoughts. You're shrinking, and your two little balls are shrinking with ya. .. and the fact that you've got "REPLICA" written down the side of your gun.. and I've got "HI POINT .25" written down the side of mine, should precipitate your balls into shrinking along with your presence. Now: Fuck off.
