A long time ago in a far away and exotic land on a paid vacation that was akin to an eco-tour with lots of fresh air, camping, morning walks, simple but healthy food, and sufficient exercise with interesting and lifelong companions. Unplanned excursions and events with local inhabitants were a continuing delight.
Sure.
Yup, When I was 17 I worked at a Gas station and was traveling to work in the evening with the owner, to work on my own car, and he was going to help. He was mad that a driver in front of us was going to slow etc and at the next light decided to jump out and give him a piece of his mind. Well I got out of the car with him. In a flash(seemed that way) the guy in the car ahead of us, jumps out and starts firing at us!! I end up under the car with my boss, looking at each other going WTF just happened? and thanked our lucky stars the other driver was done and drove away. I have never gotten out of the car since then, for anything. Live and learn.
Not sure if this counts but years ago where I worked in a job referral office, there was a belligerent customer yelling that he wanted a refund. As the assistant manager I explained that we couldn't do that. The customer jumped the counter, grabbed me by the neck and told me " I'm going to take the money out of your ass." Luckily I had a pistol in my suit jacket pocket even though it was against company policy. Without pulling the pistol from my pocket, I calmly said to the custom one word, "listen" and I cocked the hammer. His eyes got as big as saucers and quickly let go of my neck. He promptly jumped back over the counter and ran out the door.
Agreed. Most polls that I have seen usually ask a question in such a manner as to get a certain response, whereas if the question was asked differently, there would be a different response. A good example was a poll that I recently saw asked "if guns should be allowed in schools?" If the question had of been, " should armed Police be allowed in schools?" it would probably get a different response.
