In line at a Deli: "I'm afraid of that crazy mad man with nuclear weapons" [View all]

I was in line, waiting my turn at a Deli in a middle class suburb of Boston this morning, buying some odds and ends for Easter. In the queue, a person I know casually, said, "It's crazy what's happening in North Korea". I replied, "I know, I'm a little worried. My Niece is stationed in Japan". "Ya", he said, "That mad man with nuclear weapons scares the shit out of me". I replied, "I agree, and that guy in North Korea scares me." He said, "That's who I meant." I replied, "Oh, I thought you were talking about our mad man."
