No, I'm a free range chicken.
I think I was thinking about Gangs because of a solicitor I had today. Some little kid, couldn't have been more than 10 or 11. He's wearing a baseball cap that says 'Just Say No to Gangs'. And he's selling candy out of an ice chest. He's giving me this speel about how if I buy some candy from him, I can help keep kids off the streets and out of gangs. But I'm thinking..."Shut up, kid. Just show me the candy."
So he lifts the lid on the ice chest, and what do you think is in there? ...... That's right, candy. He had Reece's peanut butter cups, which are my favorite. So, my mouth is watering, and I ask him how much. He says $6. I tell him that I can buy the same thing for $3 at the store. Then he says that I would be helping him win a trip, oh yeah, and keeping kids out of gangs. So I tell him I'll buy the whole ice chest from him if he can tell me who his Senator is. (Shoot, I don't even know that...) So he can't tell me, but I buy one box from him anyway, cause I really do like Reece's alot.
I don't think there is a moral to this story, I just wanted to point out what a great guy I am, helping the community and all.
