Out of Work, Nothing Else to Do

My neighbor is out of work. He’s been out of work for a number of years now. He’s plenty smart, but he prefers to sit around drinking coffee, smoke, and talk about how he’s out of work.

Me? Well, I’m doing fine. I try to go about my day and find a way to make some money. What the hell is the point to sit around and stew about how I’m not making any money?

But recently my neighbour’s been weird. He knocks at my door in the middle of the night. Sometimes he knocks at my door in the middle of the day. But the other day, he kicked my door, and then started kicking my door every day, totally at random.

My kids are getting nervous. I’m getting nervous. I’m thinking, though I’m a peaceful guy, that I have to go over and kick his ass. What do you think, do you think I should go over and kick his ass? After all, how many times can I tolerate him kicking my door? Maybe I should just go over there and smash his knees so that it'll take years to walk again, let alone kick my door.

Maybe I should just take a baseball bat over there and finish his door-kicking forever.

What do you think?

  1. I think he sounds like a nut case. Report to the Police.

    Do not open the door to him whatever you do.

  3. Guys,

    At the risk of getting assassinated . . .

    "I" am Israel. "My neighbour" is Palestine.

    Sorry, but it had to be said. I never take sides in these cases but I just wanted to lay down something to think about . . .

    Your responses were exactly what I thought I would hear . . .

  4. oh politics.... I'm so not getting into that!!!
    I don't know, I'm not sure if asking "please stop kicking my door" nicely would actually do the trick.

  5. Yeah, me too . . . I DESPISE politics.

    But sometimes, I guess kicking someone's ass is the only way.

    Umm, I'm in a very bad mood, so don't even bother talking to me! I have to get on a plane tomorrow to Japan and I feel like shit and maybe it's the scotch that I'm trying to numb my brain with but the Arabs and the Israelis are going to all fall down the same chasm together, arguing all the way down.

    Me, I'm outta here.

    Seeya!!!!!
