[stylist] Ignorance and education

Sat May 14 19:06:56 UTC 2011

P.S. Marion,
Before I really got into this post, I thought of a response which wouldn't
have gotten the laughs, but I've done it once or twice. Give the idiot the
phone number for GDF and tell them to please alert the school to the fact
that one of their dogs was placed with a sighted person. I like your way
better, but just in case there isn't a crowd ...

Donna et Al,
    There is this ignorant guy on one of the buses I ride who agressively 
asserts that I am faking my blindness so I can take my dog with me on the 
bus! "After all," he proclaims, "you have no problem finding the fare box!" 
The last time he said this I rebutted him by saying, "You are faking being 
stuipid so you can act like an ass!" Most of the other patrons on the bus 
laughed out loud! He threatened to "kick my as", to which I said, "Oh, you 
really aren't faking being stupid if you would make such a threat with that 
100-pound dog laying at my feet!" That, too, got a big laugh on the bus!

Fraternally yours,
Marion
