GOOD.

Spotted on Not Always Right:

(I’m a greenskeeper on a golf course and am doing some work on a green, moving the hole. I pull the pin (flag) out, which is the universal symbol for “the green is closed, don’t shoot”. As I’m doing my work, this happens…)

Member: “Fore on the green! Fore on the green!”

(I look up to see blue sky and a little white speck flying at me. I turn my back and the golf ball hits me square in my one good kidney. I drop like a bag of potatoes, and the member casually strolls up to the green.)

Member: “Are you ok?”

Me: “No, I need to get to a hospital, it hit my good kidney.”

Member: “What the h*** were you doing on the green? You’re not supp–”

Me: “Did you just hear me? I need an ambulance!”

Member: “Don’t interrupt me, you little a**hole! Now move so I can putt!”

(I grab my radio and get my superintendent, who rushes out in his cart on the phone with 911. After he hangs up, he turns to the member.)

Superintendent: “Didn’t you see the pin was down?! You could have killed him!

Member: “He shouldn’t be on the green during play! It’s his own fault!”

(They continue arguing for a few moments until the ambulance shows up. As the EMT is getting me on a stretcher, she asks the member…)

EMT: “If the pin was down, what were you aiming for?”

Member: “Him.”

Superintendent: “You aimed… for him?”

Member: “I figured he’d be close to the hole. I mean… the pin was down! I had to aim for something!”

Superintendent: “You’re a f***ing idiot!”

(I found out later that the member was kicked out of the country club, and his $50,000 initiation fee as well as his $15,000 yearly dues were not refunded.)

I was hoping they gave this guy a big fat bonus out of that.

Oh my god. :-(

Aw yiss. Motherfucking justice for once! Except for the poor dude's kidney, which I'm somehow certain Rich Motherfucker won't be paying to heal. :(

Beating's too good for people like that.

Hopefully the fees they didn't refund went to help the guy's kidney.

That would be cool. Or they should have liability insurance that will cover it, too. It's a smart idea, plus it's the Law!

Sorry, my mom works for a Large Insurance Company.

I love it when management is actually on the side of their own employee and not the douchebag customer. "The customer is always right," my ass.

That person can certainly sue Rich M-Fer's ass. Causation and injury are so freaking easy to prove here it's ridiculous.

Zorro was first at being a millionaire playboy-slash-dark costumed evil face puncher.

This statement would come as rather a surprise to the Scarlet Pimpernel. Since, y'know, Johnston McCulley acknowledged the inspiration. (Yeah, I know, it's just Cracked. Still, taking a superior tone is always asking to get knocked down...)

From the article:

And last, Zorro also hid his secret costumed persona by pretending to be a complete foppish rich douche long before Bruce Wayne. Although, to be fair, the Scarlet Pimpernel invented this one in 1903, but nobody counts him since he committed the crime of having a superhero name that was lame despite having the word "pimp" in it.

So, yeah, they threw that in there.

*splorfle* And this is what I get for skimming. (Mind you, then I night have snarked that they got the date wrong, but that's just TOO geeky. So you didn't see me do it.)

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

I'm just going to pretend I didn't see those fees.

i'm impressed that he didn't get charged with assult and/or attempted murder.

but yha. ritch motherfucker's are pretty psycho sometimes.

also, the rip offs: is it so sad that i knew a goodly number of the higher ups? especially lensman?
