Ever wonder what happened to that bully in Junior High?

Fascist Fries
Take a picture of the french fries on the Bridgeport ferry, and you might as well just admit that you're a charter member of Al Qaeda

This was going to be a happy story about how two of my nephews love the french fries on the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry. “Ferry fries,” they call them. But that story went out the window Sunday night, when I took the photograph below and was threatened with arrest by the Ferry Fascists for doing so.

I was heading back to Connecticut after a weekend with the family when I took the photo. I’d eaten the fries on the way over, but couldn’t stomach another round, so I snapped two photos at the food counter, and as I was putting the camera away, two guys behind the counter started lobbing hostile, accusatory questions in my direction. “Why are you taking pictures of the food?” “I’m writing a review,” I responded, and walked away.

I went outside to take some notes and then headed back into the cabin. I observed that there were two crew members standing near me, and I heard one of them talking about me, and the photo I took. I had been turned in!

I’m of the mindset that when overzealous 9/11-hero wannabes start making ridiculous accusations, I am going to stand up and say something. If I hear you talking about me like I might be a terrorist for taking a picture of french fries, I am going to interrupt and put some perspective on the matter. So I approached the mate and told him I had a complaint about his crew. I didn’t appreciate their hostility. Yes, I was livid. Stone-cold sober, too.

1. The US Fear Industry has emboldened the petty, and the stupid

amongst the populace.

Just think of the thrill you've given these fry cooks - they'll be bragging for WEEKS about hassling a 'potential terrorist'. The writer has given them an excuse to wrap themselves in a flag, and call themselves *CITIZENS*. :sarcasm:

Jailed for passing deep fryer secrets. :wow:

2. Sounds like "Alice's Restaurant" on water.

Effing ridiculous.

3. I'm sure he's part of an American al-Qaida cell

He's taken the pictures to be developed and made into slides and is, at this very moment, instructing them in a deviant plot.

My brothers, praise be to Allah! (Turns on slide projector, showing image of fries) These are the fries the American pig-dogs serve aboard the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Ferry. Commit this image to memory. After much deliberation and prayer, Allah has revealed to me that this is the weakest link in American society. Once we have taken away their ferry-fries, the infidel, decadent United States will collapse upon itself! Muahahahahaha!
