Let's Roll!
This saying gained national prominence after 9/11 when it came out that Scott Beamer (?) used this phrase as a call of action to his fellow passengers to thwart the hijacking of flt 93. Well, today, it took on a new meaning for me....
I was crossing the parking lot after dropping off some dry cleaning. I guess I was walking too slow because some pick-up driving hillbilly honked at me and gestured angrily. I gave him the international sign for "what gives?" and he rolled down his window and this is the dialogue that followed: (Editor's Note - HB will be used for hillbilly driver and SP will be used for me)
HB - move the "F" along (he didn't actually say F nor use the two-fingered quote signs, he said the word)
SP - glare with smart ass smile
HB - You wanna roll buddy?
SP - no thanks...I just ate.
HB - haha...I mean lets roll.
SP - you want me to go bowling with you? sorry...I don't really have the time.
HB - frustrated groan and peel out
This really illustrates the age old rule that a smart-ass will win over a dumbass every time.

Don't tell anyone, but this story was a work of fiction...I am a father of two. I don't mess with nobody! :-)
KP - You need to make sure you are publishing the comments I guess...I haven't blocked anything. Have you found out anything more about the neighbor??
