Scary moment at Barnes & Noble
Guy was asking for Antonin Scalia's book- I quietly rolled my eyes and he looked right at me and held up a copy of 'Guns & Ammo'. Needless to say, I watched my back in the parking lot!

1. Trust me you have nothing to worry about
they rarely do anything and if they do they are such morons they fail miserably

2. You should have held up an animal husbandry book on sheep.
And followed it with the Kama Sutra.

5. He doesn't read
he just grunts his approval of the pictures.

6. I tried to intimidate someone like that once...
...but holding up my Daffy Duck Colorforms didn't instill the fear I had hoped to achieve. x(

7. I buy GUNS & AMMO once in a while, but geez...
I'm glad that wasn't me in the checkout line. My alibi is that I was at Borders today.

8. Careful, for your own sake.
Not just because of the Guns and Ammo. Someone I know was let go from a bookstore after someone told the manager he was "judging" the patrons' reading choices.

I would have suggested some possible companion reading...

9. After he did that, I would have asked him if he picked up a copy
of How to Fuck up a Country in 8 Simple Years, by the GOP.
