l have become a victim

You think it won't happen to you...and then it does!
Driving back from the post office, it was a beautiful afternoon. Snow in the fields and clear roads. As usual, I was packing a 1911.
I had just popped a fresh stick of spearmint into my mouth as I slowed down for a 90° turn by the cemetery. Something caught my eye off to the left. It was a man with a rifle.
He raised it to his shoulder and fired. I hit the brakes

The moving coyote bit the dust about 150 yards out. I put the window down and hollered, "Nice shot Frank!" Frank grinned and waved.
I drove toward the house and, while chomping the spearmint, I bit the hell out of my lip.
That's right...

I am a victim of gum violence.

Something must be done about gum violence! It's for the children, you know.

Well, that will teach you not to make tongue-in-cheek posts.

LOL ... No, I was thinking more along the lines of Copenhagen, or Kodiak if you prefer.

I'm sure there's a law against chewing and driving somewhere on somebody's books.

Good thing you weren't walking - it would've made Fox News, you would've been a poster child for one of those half-@$$ed politically slanted rants clogging FB these days, and some LEA or school administrator would've seen it and either cited or suspended you.

Have you set up a fraudulent 301(c) on-line for Victims of Gum Violence?

I'd like to be spanked by a cougar administrator. Are there any?
