People get smarter over time right?
There are certain rules of life that one should be able to count on right? One such rule is that over time people should get smarter. I know occasionally there are people who do things when they are young that they know will not turn out well because they don’t know better. And even more occasionally there are those in the twilight of there life that also do things that they should have learned better than to attempt. A person that I care about deeply has just decided to do something idiotic. My 30-year-old brother has just decided that a good way to make some extra money would be to become a bouncer. That’s right folks a bouncer.
Who in their right mind wakes up in the morning and says to themselves, “Hey, I think I would like to get stabbed between the 6th and 7th rib today or maybe hit in the jaw with a crowbar at the very least.” I mean come on kid! Being a bouncer, although manly, is a little too far toward the Neanderthal end of the spectrum. I know that bouncers exist much in the same way that a $1000 bill exists, they are out there but I have never seen them. When I think of a bouncer I think of the guys from Roadhouse, minus Patrick Swayze, or someone who would follow Snoop Dog around not my brother. I hope this is some last hoorah in order for him to prove something to himself and that he will before he gets into a serious scuffle. My brother is a big guy and can take care of himself but it only takes one knife, gun, board, car, baseball bat, crowbar, set of iron knuckles, double team, roll of quarters, slap-jack, cattle prod, pool stick, sword, … well you get the idea. I hope my brother makes it to old age.
