A Dirty Mouth

Posted on June 28, 2004 in Neighborhood

Last night, when we went for a walk in Concourse Park, a loudmouth started to scream at a group of teen-aged girls who were goofing off in the children’s playground. “The fucking park closes at fucking sunset,” he shouted. The girls yelled back that they had every right to be in the park because it closed at ten.

I appointed myself investigator and went to read the Park Regulations sign at the entrance. It said that the park closed at sunset, but the lighted sports facilities were open until ten. The girls were in the lighted sports facilities.

“Hey, mister, I am forty six years old and the sign says that the lighted areas of the park close at 10 PM. So cool it until then,” I yelled. “And watch your fucking mouth.”

“You are my hero,” said one of the girls.

Damned Bush supporters. All for freedom to pave over the country, all against the right of others to use the commons. And, boy, do they have foul mouths!
