Committing Mayhem Upon a Friend
What's a good reason to commit violence upon a friend? Here's one, and no jury of my peers (who live here, anyway) would convict me.
My friend is a successful author (one of the few I know who actually can live on it!) and while we in Illinois are waking up to 20 mph winds and -15 temperatures, he emails me to say, "It's even abnormally chilly here---80s instead of 90s."
Cruel, cruel man. He's in Bangkok. He and his partner of many years to there every January-April. So I think I need to hurt him. Badly. Problem is, I can't go to Thailand. No money, I'm afraid to fly, and afraid of the water in which airplanes sometimes end up in.
And the next person I hear say "if winter comes can Spring be far behind?" will be fed to the first lion I run across. Actually I've never heard anyone say that, but it makes a good ending sentence.
