/me claps his hands at Ater. Bravo! Oh wow, good work Citizen Aim also. I would never have thought to put CO
2 in bomb plans. (unless of course you were looking for a concussion grena...err... :) It really is the
smart quiet guy you have to watch out for. I have the same problem you do Aim.
This didn't happen to me, rather one of my friends.
Mild background info. It was the winter after the
Columbine stupidity (the news media, not the shooting), and it being
Southern California, it was cold, and it was rainy. My friend, seeing that it was cold and rainy, wore his
trenchcoat to school, so he could stay warm and dry as he walked to school. He had done that for years.
Now, fast foreward to about 6th period, i see my friend walk into the counselors office. He had gotten a pink slip to go there. So later, me being
the kind, caring, nosey type, asked him why he was sent there. They had wanted to see how his life was doing. This friend is always good at wrenching information out of people, or infering things at people and getting them to
confess. It's almost like watching the
Spanish Inquisition. They were basically worried he was going to shoot up some
schmucks because he was wearing a trenchcoat and smiled too much. He grinned at the lady throughout the entire conversation.
Few days later, walking between classes with him. We happen to walk by our principal, as she loves to mingle with the students. She makes a point of coming up to us and talking to us. She askes how the guy's day is going (he's still wearing his trenchcoat, it's cold and
damp outside). She then makes a comment about how she is glad he is hanging out with a good crowd, people like me. I have never once talked to the principal. Ever. I called her
bluff. I forget how i worded it, but it basically became apparently obvious to her that I knew she had no
clue who I was. Thus, I was
introduced.
