who's on MY 'naughty list'???















well for one,
the security guard in the mall where our classroom is.
(who, sadly, does not resemble this handsome fella)
for telling us that the student, who was dressed as santa for our class christmas party, could not cover her face with a beard as she walked thru the mall because she could be a terrorist in disguise.

'are you SERIOUS?' i laughed.
he was joking right?
what would YOU think?

then he took exception to my question and viewed my subsequent comment of,
"get a life!" as a potential threat.
because he quickly spoke into his lapel asking for coverage 'on camera' at 'present location.'

you might know him as santa.
but apparently he's actually osama bin laden
and he's hiding out in the mall.

and a village somewhere is short one idiot.

Great!
I was once in charge of five hundred children, twenty two staff in eight buses on a trip to a theme park. I got off the first bus and presented the details and money to a silly old fool with a ticket machine at the gate. He insisted on issuing five hundred tickets via his machine. The queue of traffic behind us were not amused. Said it was 'more than his job was worth' to do it any other way.
That was years ago. Evidently things dont change. (A young clerk told my mother in law last week she was NOT allowed to show initiative on the local council.)

Other half once was stopped in Orlando by a state trooper ( on Christmas eve) and I said-don't argue with him, he has a gun!

Expat mum said...

Give him a break - everyone's going nuts over here at the shopping malls. He was probably wetting himself!!!

I'm sorry - did you say something? I was too busy oggling. Sigh...

Mo:
I think he would like to be in the CIA. or even the boy scouts, but he's too 'intense' for them.

Suz:
Cops? Moi? he he that would be good wouldn't it?

Clinka:
The Well needs a bit more chlorine in the gene pool LOL (no offense to residents of The Well of course.)

Ken:
Exactly! I appreciate those who go by the rules.... but sometimes....

Welcome. Thanks for the visit, and I'm enjoying your blog too.
You're right! I'm sure you've never found it to be the case in the UK! ha ha

Helen:
I am SO much more mature than that now. Ain't he the lucky one? LOL The good old H.H. Ahhh youth!


Jo:
I dread to think what would happen if said security guard had a GUN! Scary thought!

E.P. Mum:
Nothing nuts about this Mall, we're a bit quieter than Chicago; a few pensioners and a couple of women and all before 9 a.m. But I think he did wet himself come to think of it. ;-))

CB/GND:
hi again!
Security Man in photo bears no resemblance whatsoever to Security Man in mall. (that's a 'legal' disclaimer for your benefit.) You being a lawyer and all!

Thanks all for all comments.
I like comments.

Hahaha - what a loser.

Question: are people with actual beards required to shave before entering the mall as well??
