“You can’t handle the truth!” was probably the most appropriate movie line to spout in that situation, but I might have opted for a more confusing message, perhaps, “You’re gonna’ need a bigger boat,” or “Life is like a box of chocolates: you never know what you’re gonna’ get,” or “What is a ‘yoot?’” That way, the pet food purchaser is confused, and also believes you to be unbalanced, and less likely to shoot you.
I'm recovering from back surgery and dreaming of 🐐 yoga, and all the other weird stuff I used to do (and took for granted). Have fun! Goat yoga is the best!!
I can only abide the truth and it's painful a lot of the times.
Highways are out of the way, no police in sight, and people being driven in carriages probably have money and jewellery. A bank heist would be very different, there are alarms, guns, security, cameras.
The messenger must be killed because he knows too much.
The West Wing, which I only watched last year for the first time. I had no idea about all the great actors who were in it.
I used to own a pet store until 2018 and while it was great, and we didn't sell animals mind you, you still had to clean up poo and pee, and that can be unpleasant.
The truth is often less painful than the lies- we get it dyslexic in our heads. At least with a location robbery you can see whose doing it more clearly than highway robbery which is more cloistered and hard to see thus the phrase " thats highway robbery" a scandlous scam! The messenger gets shot for telling rhe truth thus the emotional dsylexia. A few good men " you cant handle the truth!"are we strong enough? Id work in a pet store because people are generally more joyful abd happy when it comes to their pets.
I was gonna comment on how great it is my local feed store delivers for free so I never have to have an interaction like this. But then again, you’d have had to find something else to write about this week.

These are all excellent options!
Check your PayPal balance... Go go 🐐
You, sir, a the GOAT! Thank you!

1. Yes, but I'd rather not.
2. Yes, because it means you're in a traffic jam. A robbery just adds insult to injury.
3. Yes. It would allow the messenger to be even more brutally honest (hilarity ensues).
4. A Few Good Men.
5. No. You'd only be fired. You should volunteer.
Ugh. Traffic plus robbery. What a nightmare.
😆 Your #5
The subject of highway robbery makes me think of the old Irish tune, “Whiskey in the Jar.”
Mush-a ring dum-a do dum-a da
Whack fol my daddy-o
Whack fol my daddy-o
There's whiskey in the jar
Your guess is as good as mine as to what that means.
Didn’t know that was an old Irish tune, but that tracks. Metallica covered it right?
Yes, though my favorite is by Thin Lizzy.
Mine too!
Oh hell yeah. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=boanuwUMNNQ
And so did Jerry Garcia with David Grisman. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2nkQQkjCU8
Didn’t know about this version. So good!
Love Garcia and Grisman.
1. Only in small doses.
2. Yes, because they would hang you in a cage at the crossroads and let the birds eat you.
3. Never be one. Don't give advice either.
4. The West Wing.
5. Not if you are like me, and would have to take all the animals home.
Wow, highway robbery got upgraded to highway murder. Yikes.
I was thinking of what they did to the highway robbers...:)
1. I can. And I don't see any method, at all, sir.
2. Train robbery seems like the most fun.
3. Full tactical gear, in fact.
4. The Social Network.
5. Real-talk: No, definitely not.
Full Tactical Messenger feels like an awesome video game.

I was not expecting a pet store owner in the comments. I’m honored.
You know. I do have to wonder what Hunter Thompson would have had to say about the currant mess. But I know he would not have been surprised
Sadly, whatever HST would’ve said would’ve been drowned out by the nonsense.
I can handle the truth, as long as it's not Tom Cruise talking to me.
I think highway robbery is only worse than other places because they have to pull you over to rob you blind.
Messengers have always been shot, that's why the phrase exists. "Don't shoot the messenger."
A few good men, followed by Charlie Wilson's war.
Sure, go to work in the pet store. At least you can pet the animals.
Charlie Wilson’s war has some amazing scenes.
I know I can handle the truth because you have been telling me the truth most weeks.
Personally I think bedroom robbery would be worse than highway robbery.
Don’t deliver the message. No need to wear an uncomfortable vest.
And a pet store job wouldn’t pay enough to buy the required bulletproof vest.
I think you’re right. Bedroom robbery is way worse.

This plastic bag isn't a toy.
Shoot the messenger.
Don't swallow batteries.
Vacuum cleaners aren't sex toys.
Universal truths.
If you worked at the per store you could pet the customers.
The Social Network.
The Social Network gets better / more frightening with each passing year. He really nailed Zuck
1. I haven’t been able to handle the truth for decades. Just ask my parents!
2. Highway robbery is categorically more debonair than pedestrian robbery.
3. Messengers should probably start phoning it in if they haven’t already. The ones that come for me do it by mail, electronic or otherwise.
4. West Wing. I know it’s not a movie but I stand by it.
5. Not if you can’t abide copious piles of unmentionable substances.
West Wing is an inspired choice. Sadly, Sorkin didn’t get to see that one through to the end.

We used to get Mortimer’s food delivered, but that method was no fun.
1. No.
Yes, you should apply for a job at the pet store and if you get it, wear a bulletproof vest. P S. You are my new hero
Will ask if they provide the vest
