I learned my lesson on this in 1982 watching the Superbowl in a bar with friends. It was toward the end of the game. The waitress for our table was standing in front of me so I could not see the screen and I needed another beer. Well, not really needed. So I gave that little red LEVI tag on her back pocket a few yanks that was right there in my face and all Hell broke loose. She hit me hard, went running to the manager and with a few bartenders I was dragged out and thrown onto the gravel driveway. I was banned forever and lost a few friends. LESSON LEARNED. HANDS OFF.
The difference between me and Republicans is that I knew as well then as I do now that letting the animal out is wrong.
