4. Yeah, because wood burns and they don't think so.

I called the cops on the guy when he was burning some trash in a fire pit that was close to my wooden fence and there was also some dry brush nearby. The cops talked to him and told him to keep doing what he was doing. The flames were taller than my fence which is six feet high.

Then I heard him say "stupid bastards" twice from my side of the fence. He didn't know I was there. I feel like making large cutout letters with a jigsaw in wood and putting them on top of my fence saying "WE ARE STUPID BASTARDS".

I have three degrees, terminal degree a doctorate in law, and my hubby has three degrees, terminal degree a master's degree in physics/math.

And these people have a big cross in their yard with white christmas lights on it.

The wife was in our house and insulted my piano playing (12 years of lessons and I whipped through a Chopin waltz from memory) by calling me a showoff.

She also said "Buddhism is VOODOO" and crossed her forearms in front of her like she was holding up a cross to protect herself.

Both complete idiots. Ignorant and proud of it.
