She is often armed to the teeth. Shot guns in her car, a hand gun under her mattress (I asked her if it ever raised a male eyebrow for overnight visitors. Probably not a question a father should ask a daughter... but I try to be hip. She had me in hysterics describing what's involved in going to the restroom on flights (she gets OK'd to carry a gun aboard by the pilot). She has to wear a jacket (even in summer) so she doesn't terrorize other passengers. Then she has carry a night stick and handcuffs under the jacket (its assumed you won't have to SHOOT everybody). Imagine trying to negotiate ALL that stuff off... quietly, in a small, metalic place... without clanking too much. Guns are unfortunate things... and so are men that are impressed by them. Often they are men with small penises. Women aren't impressed with them (guns)... the latter (penises) they can be very impressed with. Distressing cause you don't get to change what you're born with... and (alas) even a 45 won't change things. My daughter is a special agent. She is often armed to the teeth.

She had me in hysterics describing what’s involved in going to the
restroom on flights (she gets OK’d to carry a gun aboard by the
pilot). She has to wear a jacket (even in summer) so she doesn’t
terrorize other passengers. Then she has carry a night stick and
handcuffs under the jacket (its assumed you won’t have to SHOOT
everybody). Imagine trying to negotiate ALL that stuff off…

Guns are unfortunate things… and so are men that are impressed by
them. Often they are men with small penises. Women aren’t impressed
with them (guns)… the latter (penises) they can be very impressed
with. Distressing cause you don’t get to change what you’re born
