Kickass, the doorstop dog, hands off to the keeper for the report of an “eating-out-with-a-Trumper” adventure as reported to him by son Rick and daughter-in-law Becky.
The scene is a popular area night club with booths separated by partitions. The conversation in Rick and Becky’s booth with other family members was an accounting of some Trump outrages and, unbeknown to all but Becky, was obviously being overheard by the disagreeing occupant of an adjoining booth.
Suddenly there was a crash of dishes, an off-balance woman sprawled flat on the floor and a portly irate man forcefully pushed his way over to Rick and Becky’s booth with strong language while waving the universal finger signal of disapproval in Rick’s face.
Under most circumstances it is not a good idea to communicate with Rick in that manner, but Rick was unaware of the eavesdropper’s motivation and asked politely if the finger was meant for him?
Later, in a similar nightclub setting with the keeper and Phyllis, Rick asked Becky why she was whispering as she recounted the Trumper incident. Her response had been to glance over at the booth partitions.
It promises to be an exciting time between now and Nov. 5, when political activity includes such things as smashing dishes and knocking your wife out of the way in order to give the finger to one of those “damn, no good liberal jerks!”
