Alex, I know it's not sensible, but I feel sorry for the robber guy. Glad no one was hurt, of course. (He was probably trying to cover some margin call.) I screwed up my marriage proposal, and I started laughing in the most serious moment of the ceremony....all the bride's (Bride's?) sisters were crying (joy, I think), and I couldn't stop laughing, even though I bit the hell out of all the accessible parts of my mouth. I knew the whole ceremony thing thing was a bad idea. We did it "for them", as a performance to bring happiness of sorts, yes I would say that's true; and I was fully aware of that as I was standing there in hysteria stomach pain, shuddering with the humor and absurdity of it all, practically ruining it for them. I felt very bad, and sad, and that seemed at some level even funnier. The guy doing the ceremony was really trying to help, to show no expression relating to what was happening, and thank god he did. It must have been even harder, worse, for him. Poor guy. I gave him extra money, a lot, as he got in his car. It turned out no one noticed, or they had the courtesy to deny it. It was pretty hard to miss, but spouse assures me I stifled a lot of the noise.
Thank goodness, it was before vidcams. I guess robbing a bank is about the same? |
