This Is This

Check it out: the guy sitting across the aisle of the bus this morning was reading a document called Heads We Win - The Cognitive Side of Counterinsurgency.

OK?

Then he spoke to the steward and was American.

But then, right…

He bought a one-way ticket.

Yeah?

I thought at time he was probably one of those bus marshals.

“Any second now,” I thought, “he’s going to tighten his grip on the Berretta holstered in his parka as we go past Heathrow, where he’ll turn to me and say in the hiss of a determined whisper:

“‘The guy in seat 3C. When he stands up, we’re gonna take him. I need to know if you’re cool. Are you cool?’ and I start telling him about the time I hung out with Dizzy Gillespie and he interrupts me and reaches for his bootknife, hands it to me and says: ‘You know how to use one of these?’”

My life’s so fucking boring.

It’s Monday, everyone.

Let’s roll.
