I have to share this with DU....!

This was one of the most awesome putdowns I've ever participated in!

I've had a really hard time for the last day and a half. Hard physically and mentally. I won't bore you with that except to say that last night I got four hours of sleep, and it's charitable to call it sleep. We were having really cold, crappy weather, and I was out in it without the best equipment to cope with it. So the "sleep" didn't amount to much, and with the hard day today (more of the cold raw windy weather), I was not in a good mood when I got home this evening. I got out of my dirty clothes, put on some warm dry clothes, and went straight to bed.

So when my phone rang two hours later, I was kinda pissed. I became even more pissed when the caller identified himself as being from "Concerned Women of America" calling for my mother (and he mispronounced her name, which made me even madder). If you're not familiar with 'em, CWA is Beverly LaHayes' group of religious-right fundie storm-troopers. I'm pissed to have my sleep disturbed at all, and even more so because it's these idiots.

So I interrupted his spiel with, "Let me make this clear to you, sir. I'll use small words you can understand. If you EVER...call this number again...I will reach through this phone, and I will encircle your throat with my hand....and I will SQUEEZE it...until the PUS pops out the top!"

And I slammed the receiver down in his ear! I couldn't have pulled a line like that out of my head in my most coherent moment if I tried--but, boy, when my brain was this mushy, somehow it just flowed out to perfection!

("...until the pus pops out the top!" )

I just had to share it with this community!

I was just so freakin' tired, my brain was so mushy, I was just lettin' it flow, and that spilled out....it wasn't until I'd slammed the receiver down on him that I actually realized what I'd said.

A guy calls and says that ?
My first question would be why are you calling if it is the women that are so concerned????
Just the name of the group sound busy body
Guess they wont be making a followup call to your mother!!!

I had to get rid of my phone because I was being harassed non-stop by telemarketers and others like the call you got.

I told them the only issue I had with Republicans was that they weren't being hung fast enough. "Click"
