I'd'a played the APS card.

That's the one made out of a 2x4 with one end wrapped in white medical adhesive tape, right?  (Thumpium.  Apply PRN.)

stay safe.

Well, Armed Polite Society doesn't necessarily mean just fire arms.

But  I sure got the point about pulling various "poor me" cards.

I could also have pulled the "Poor me, I'm crippled and retired and on a fixed income" card --the CRFI card.

The one that really gets to me is the "Single Mother" card.  I hate it when they use it practically as a badge of honor.

Not that I don't think society has a certain responsibility to help those who can't help themselves, but that particular "card" irks me.

The women card doesn't work all that great on it's own. It only really works with race/orientation card or sex appeal.

I've got no problem pulling my cards if the other side is fighting dirty and I have too. All things are fair in love and war, and all that jazz.

"single mother" card irks me too, though probably for different reasons...

Spend as much time as I have in Divorce court watching women do everything they can to have any male influence excluded from their children's lives and playing that "card" will more then just irk you.

On a lighter note, can I play the "Single Dad" card?  I do doubt that it's worth nearly as much it was when my dad could play it in the early 60's.

Get one of the "Single Dad Because the Courts Revoked Her Custody Rights" cards.

Even if you don't play it you get warm fuzzies knowing it is in your wallet.

stay safe.

No, that's the one where you flip over the card table, call the rest of the room a bunch of whiny bitches and slap the ever-loving-*expletive deleted* out of them.  What you described is the Cluebat Jr.

That card always works. As does the "I have a headache" card. =D

Ya, that's funny.  But I thought it was referring to the U.S. Windian:

"I'm 1/128th Cherokee on my Mother's side."

"Oh, really?  That's interesting, 'cause I'm 1/264th U.S. Cavalry on my Father's side."

(I always wanted to try that but never had the cajones to do so.)

My wife is enough Cherokee that it counts. She used to try to play the "Indian card" with me. I'd ask her if she wanted to play cowboys and Indians again. Usually shut her up.

Hey, it got her elected. (Or, at least, it didn't get her NOT elected ... which it should have.) It also got her a job at a prestigious eastern university.
