Manslaughter is an
extremely underappreciated word. It does not get the respect it deserves. It’s
the most descriptive word for killing, but for some reason, it is the least
criminal of all murders.
If you accidentally kill
somebody, it’s manslaughter. You could trip, drop a gun, it goes off, and
somebody dies … Manslaughter!
I think that’s a bunch of
crap. Manslaughter sounds vicious. It sounds like it should be something you
yell when you are going to kill someone and you mean it. “I’M GONNA
MANSLAUGHTER YOOOU!!!! It has all the components of the act you are committing:
Man and Slaughter. Plus, it’s not politically correct. There is no
womanslaughter or peopleslaughter; just men only. It’s the last bastion of male
freedom.
If nothing else, it should
be reserved for really messy killings, the kinds that make people that work the
scenes throw up. It could be like a hate crime or anything you need multiple
mops to clean up.
Murder is a lame word. It
should only be used on CSI: Miami, Quincy M.E., and Dr. Seuss books. I
would add hack comedians to that list, but I am sure one of them will steal
this and use it in his hack comedy act, and it will make me want to
manslaughter him.
Now, on to things that
have always confused me … How does “S-e-a-n” spell “Shawn”? It doesn’t. Not even
in Louisiana does that work, and we use “eaux” as “oh.” Either pronounce it as
“Scene,” or change it to Shawn.
Another thing that has
always bothered me is the human body temperature. 98.6 degrees is normal
operating temperature. So why do I sweat like a fatty when it’s 90 degrees
outside? You would think, if anything, that should be a little chilly. When you
have a fever, you can feel the difference of warmth on your skin, which means
it is fairly close to that inner body temp. If anything, I should be really
cozy at 98 degrees.
I stopped at a gas station
the other day, and there were some fellas in there with short, cut-off, jean
shorts and sleeveless half-shirts. At first I thought it was because I was in
Prairieville, but then I noticed the mullets and moustaches were fakes.
After some investigating,
I found out they were going to a party. I gave them advice about wearing normal
clothes to a party and changing when they get there, and then changing on the
way home. If you get pulled over, you know it’s going to end up on one of those
police video shows, and tens of people will see you looking like an ass.
Anything involving a
costume or drag should wait until you get where you are going. If you get
pulled over wearing a miniskirt and blonde wig, no matter what kind of party
you are going to, the cops won’t believe it. You are just another tranny
working the streets, and Sheriff John Bunnell will talk about you being part of
the seedy underbelly of society.
