The Disappeared Reappeared

You might recall an earlier posting about men bearing books never to be seen again...
Well, the other day I missed my bus and was waiting for the light to change when who should
I run into but Mr.UN Advisor. He either didn't see me or hoped he was invisible but I said to him
"Hello Mr.UN"...he did a pretty admirable job looking genuinely surprised and an even better job of
looking slightly sheepish. So we were kind of forced to make nice and walk together. I didn't say anything
about his disappearance, and neither did he. We just walked awkwardly up the street.
I asked about his next posting and he replied that they were sending him to Afghanistan. I smiled ever so sweetly and said "Oh dear, I remember you saying that was the last place you wanted them to send you. That's really too bad". I really wanted to say "gosh, I sure hope a stray bullet doesn't get you in the ass, asshole".
But why go there with this jerk?
 It's enough to know that they are sending him to hell.

  2. No Pat, I'm not bitter at all. I think it's funny.
