Mr. Daystar

In a bell tower, watching you through cross hairs.
Years ago I hauled gasoline for Sunoco. I was at a station in a very rough neighborhood and the drop holes were in a place that caused me to block a drive up pay phone, I was just standing there waiting for a compartment to empty, when a car with a couple of dudes come rolling up, and want to use the phone. I told them I'll be done soon, or walk over, just be careful, and no smoking. They got pissed, and suggested maybe they should just kick my ass, so I reached in my pocket, took out my Zippo, and said, maybe you should, but I bet you don't walk away from it, in fact I bet the whole block doesn't make it. I flipped open the lid, moved it close to the vapor recovery tube, and smiled. They drove away, I let out a loud "whew", and finished up. I don't mind telling you, I was scared, The particular station I was at, eventually was shut down, when federal agents found out that the owners were going to torch it, and send the insurance money to the Taliban. It was also one of several stations that Sunoco would only send drivers to, during daylight hours, due to the crime rate in the area. I think I only dropped there 2 or 3 times, but it was always an adventure going into the hood, you just never knew.

I don't know why, probably because his face reminds me of "Frank Burns", but I really want to punch him in the face, until he forgets how to do math.

Weird Laws International:

1. Don't Cut the Cactus in Arizona​

because it is illegal to do so. Offenders can be sentenced to 25-year long prison time. Ain't no poking fun at this one.

2. Let the Homing Pigeons Be in Australia​

Homing pigeons are protected by law in Australia. This bird can travel long distances and can find its place miles away. It was once used for sending messages and racing. The bird has earned a prominent position in the country, so according to these weird laws, it is considered illegal to capture, injure or kill homing pigeons. Those found guilty are made to pay a whopping $250 penalty

3. Flush Before 10:00 Pm in Switzerland​

The curfew on flushing toilets after 10:00 PM is quite a strict regulation of Switzerland. Everybody, better finish their business before the clock strikes ten.

4. Belly Dancing Only for Ladies in Egypt​

Because it is illegal for men to belly dance in Egypt.

5. Money Matters in Turkey​

Destroying currency is considered an offence in Turkey. It means insulting the national flag and could lead to jail time ranging between six months to as long as three years. Thailand also considers stepping on any currency as an act of disrespect.
