Trump's commutation of Roger Stone is his latest extension of his middle finger to

the majority of Americans. As I sat considering that image this evening, I was reminded of an evening over 50 years ago when another loudmouth flipped off the wrong person.

Bill and his girlfriend were walking across the parking lot of a bar that many of us underage adventurers visited often back in the sixties. They were on their way to Bill's car when they passed a trio of losers who were sitting on a pickup truck drinking beer. One made a very vulgar remark about Bill's date as they passed him and was taken aback when Bill turned and said "Apologize---NOW!"

The potty-mouth respondedby sliding off the tailgate and sticking his raised middle finger into Bill's face. Bill grabbed the guy's wrist with his left hand and the offensive finger with his right. The audible "snap" as the digit was broken backwards was drowned out by the guy's scream which quickly turned into the sound of his crying like a baby.

I wish Bill could meet Donald in a parking lot.
