After You

Anaheim, CA

I have hope that the world is getting better. It's little things. Cars edging out of the way to let a motorcycle lane split. Random strangers holding doors open. Robbers letting customers cut in line.

An unidentified man robbed a pharmacy in Anaheim last night. Put a gun to an employee's head, demanded Xanax and Oxycotin. A customer shows up in the middle of this so he has the pharmacist help him before continuing the robbery.

Awful neighborly of him. Must have been a Boy Scout.

If you're going to rob someone there's no reason you can't be polite about it. As my favorite syphilitic gangster, Al Capone once said, "You can get more with a kind word and a gun than you can with a kind word alone."

It's nice to see that the kind word isn't being left out.
