And One to End the Issue
Be careful waving firearms
You will not believe what just happened…
I pulled in to a gas station to get some petrol, when I got out I noticed two policemen watching a woman who was smoking while pumping gas…
I saw her and thought, “Is this lady stupid or crazy?!! With the police right there too?!”
But anyway, as I was paying inside, I heard screaming… I looked and the woman’s arm was on fire! She was swinging her arm and running around going crazy!
I ran outside and the policeman had put her on the ground and were putting the fire out with their coffees!!
Then they put handcuffs on her and threw her in the police car…
I was thinking “what kind of person smokes near a gas pump?!”
But being nosey, I asked the policemen what they were arresting her for…
The policeman looked me square in the eyes and said … “WAVING A FIREARM!”
