uhh.
how about this.
I'm your asshole neighbor. We hate each other. You are stronger than
me. I am far crazier than you. You are scared of my unpredicability.
You have a very nice field of hay that you sell for a living. In our
community you know I have been looking for matches but no one will give
me any. I flap my lips and throw rocks at your house. Every once in a
while you slap me, knowing that the most I can really do is throw
another rock. This afternoon as I was entering my house I turned and
waved and flashed a box of stick matches at you.
Are you going to come slap me again now? Can you slap me before I light
your hay on fire? Are you willing to trade a slap for burnt hay?
Now you sit and must listen to me tell you I will burn you out all the
while wishing you had just killed me and been done with it....last
week.
