stupid_questions_and_stupid_answers get a stupid grendel I've probably told this story before, but, hey, fuckit... here goes. A co-worker at one of my old jobs, real uptight type, asked me the question of all questions because the disagreed with the way i dressed and the music i listen to (which was ridiculous as it's not like i was going to get dressed up to work on an assembly line) "Do you ever, you know, hear voices?" "Yeah," I replied, smelling it coming for days and from miles away, "but i had to learn to ignore 'em, because all they ever said was 'Kill! Kill! Kill!'" Same job, a year later, psycho fundamentalist lady starts by propaganda bombing me with Jack_chick_tract_books (say that shit ten times fast, why don't you) and then comes in to my work area on a rare working friday, overhears Black Sabbath on the little boombox i've got in my workstation and asks me, point-blank, the same question she's been asking my friends about themselves and about me behind my back "Are you some kind of devil-worshipper?" to which i answer "Now, it'd be both redundant and egotistical of me to regard myself in that light now, wouldn't it?" the fun part was that you could, over the litanies of machine noise and pneumatic hoses and rivet guns, almost hear her jaw hitting the floor but it's like the adage says, "Ask a stupid question..." 030929 what's it to you? who go blather from
