(11,464 posts)Should Clarence the angel just have let him jump?
Or should Jimmy have been happy Clarence stopped him?
One knows who their friends are in the hour of need.
And if Jimmy just jumped, he really would have screwed Clarence, who was relying on him.
So Jimmy was not alone and free to do it, right?
Or as Tom T. Hall so famously sang
"Old dogs and children and watermelon wine" c)
about supposed friends that are just not there when one needs them the most
Remember mash's theme song?
Well, that theme song was NOT meant to be taken literally.
It was written as irony.
Because, NO it is not.
Not for the person, not for any friend, family, or if one works, any coworker.
And not for the person who daily sees someone and is comforted, even not knowing the persons name, but they are on the 810bus or train, or at the 7-11, and one day
that person is not there, becuase well, that person might have had to have a big gulp at the same 7-11.
BTW-ever notice at the 7-11 that the hot meals they serve are really, really tiny?
The hotdogs and chili dogs and other crap people eat, are like mini.
Same with their pizza.
Why is it that they serve BIGGGGGGGGGGGGG cups of soda
and teeny tiny food?
