A bunch of useless crap
Published on October 20, 2006 By MasonM In Blogging
I'm on my way to Houston. I stopped at a small fuel stop at the WI/IL line. It just accidently happens to have a pub across the street so I just accidently wandered in there.

It's a pretty typical small local pub with pretty typical local patrons. I was having a reasonably decent time in there minding my own business and drinking a few beers. There were a few local women in there and at one point they started making chattering noises while looking at me. I asked the bartender what was up and she told me that they were discussing the old myth about how hand size related to, well, other physical attributes. OK, I have rather large hands.

At one point one of the women happened my way and commented on my aftershave and asked what it was. I told her it was Bay Rum, which she had never heard of, and the next thing I knew I had six women sniffing my neck and commenting on my aftershave. I won't pretend it wasn't fun.

Later in the evening a couple of hispanic guys came in with a hispanic girl who was to say the least quite hot looking. I certainly was checking her out. Her boyfriend took offense and came over to me and asked if I was looking at his girlfriend. I replied that I was indeed as she was quite nice to look at and he was a lucky man. As I was talking to him I was slipping my spring assisted lockblade out of my pocket (it's sharp enough to shave with). He got pretty nasty so I released the blade and stuck it in his crotch and asked him if he really wanted to continue the conversation. He suddenly decided that we should be the best of friends.

I walked out the door backwards after that and decided it was time to return to my truck.

Gees Mason you must be more careful that could have been a nasty one.

Have to say though I loved your moves! Knife to the balls, he aint gonna argue is he?   

I am glad you are okay though.

(and Socrates too - I thought he was getting the chop!) ouch!

It's not my first rodeo. I've been around the block a few times. He wasn't really much of a threat, just trying to be macho. Such is life on the road.

As I have said you could write a book - write it from Socrates point of view about how his owner gets into near scrapes etc and tell both of your adventures!

I thought the little man was in for the snippers. hahahhaha

I don't even know what to say about the rest though.

Except,one day you might not get so lucky...maybe if the guy had a gun or something. Be careful Mason.

Ok, seeing as how you walked out of there without further incident...this story makes you sound really cool.

Nah, nothing "cool" about it. I just wasn't in the mood for a fight and that was the quickest way to put a halt to the crap since talking didn't work and he was spoiling for one.

You know, I've never had a problem with other guys checking out girlfriends of mine. It does my ego good. Of course, there is a difference between checking out and ogling, but even then, most blokes are not going to do anything else but look. I'm glad you sorted the macho fool's problem out for him.

As for the title, I too thought it might be referring to Socrates.
