Using your logic, the only way to prove that I'm not the reason for the sun coming up every morning is for me to stop kissing the floor every morning and see what happens." The LEO dropped his mouth open, was silent for five seconds, and then said, "well, I guess you're right."

Y'know...
The only time in my entire life I visited NYC was in August of 2001. I drove right past the WTC to a meeting a few blocks up, went to B&H Photo in mid-town, and had lunch at a typical New York greasy spoon. Then I got hopelessly lost in traffic on the way back down to the WTC to visit the ob deck (a lifelong ambition!), and wound up leaving NYC without entering the WTC at all. I said, "Well, I'll come back in the fall and see them. They're not going anywhere!" Two weeks later, 9/11. I haven't returned to NYC since, and we haven't had another 9/11. Yer velcome. NOTE: My company has some involvement with the new One World Trade tower project, so I may visit it, and the 9/11 Memorial, at some point in the future. If we have another 9/11 afterwards, you can all feel free to blame me. Though, on further reflection, I think I'll stick with the premise that the one has nothing whatsoever to do with the other. Just like TSA's fishing expedition interrogation program has nothing whatsoever to do with preventing terrorism or catching terrorists. |
