[This is from the Blink Talk Conference]

Yesterday I had another of my interesting experiences.  A german woman
got on the bus and spied me and Venture.  I was asusual, working with
the BNS, and so didn't pay to much attention to her but she did to me.
In very broken english she asked me if I knew it was against the law for
me to bring the dog on the bus.  Then she went on and on about how she
felt that the handicapped shouldn't be allowed in public places because
just the sight of them was so disgusting but I think she got the
attention of all when she said: "poor widdle tting.  You be better off
when you're dead.

I don't know what gets into me some times but my mouth oppened and out
it came.

"Who'll be better off," I asked "You or me?"

"You will," hissed the woman amidst laughter.

"Well, I said, I think Hittler had things like that it mind, but
fortunately for me, he never made it over here.  Also he was just a
little before my time.  Everyone left but as she left the bus, she was
going on in an undertone how really bratty us upstarts are today.
