Was I wrong for killing that mime?

Question

When I was 12 my mom dragged me against my will to an arts and crafts fair. It was bad enough with so many hippies there, with their beards and sandals and rolled up jeans, but then I saw a mime. I went into the best plan of action I could, which was to keep out of his sight and watch him carefully. I thought I saw him leave, so I sat down for a minute, dropping my guard. Suddenly, out of nowhere, the mime appeared and apparently he noticed I wasn't in a good mood and took it upon himself to cheer me up. Who did he think he was? So, he sets up this invisible card table and pulls up a chair. If he'd used an invisible chair, I might have been impressed, but he didn't have that level of commitment. Anyway, he dealt some invisible cards, we wagered some invisible money, and then he showed his hand. He had four aces! I knew he was cheating, cause I had five aces myself, so I shot him in the head. Was this wrong? At least the other kids there won't grow up to be mimes.

Thanks for all the support. The only thing I really regret about all of it is I now have to live in fear of the International Mime Society. I'm constantly looking over my shoulder, afraid I'll see someone twirling an invisible lasso, or pulling an arrow in an invisible bow. When I catch them, I have to trap them in a box.

I always give the Best Answer to the person I think gives the best answer, whether I know them or not. The Devil is nothing if not fair. Unfortunately, calling me mean will probably not get you brownie points.

There were just too many hippies there, or believe me, I would've taken action. Unfortunately hemp is kind of like my kryptonite.

Answer 1

Great move.
I hoped You used a silencer on that gun though.

And I wouldnt' worry about the international Mime society. They havn't had a meeting in years. Thier last one didn't go too well, nobody responded to the role call, and nobody could get thier points across cause some kids kept turning out the lights...

Answer 2

If your American, what do you think of your experience in Paris? >>>> I have been to Paris several times and enjoyed all of the visits. are there really mimes that just walk around the streets in Paris putting on mime shows? >>> I recall seeing them. are most of the French stereotypes true, such as... the men are crazy romantics and hit on you all the time (which I can't say i would really mind), >>> Not the experience of my female travel companions. the women are (for the most part) bitches, >>> No. the food is amazing, >>> It was OK, but I am from New Orleans and have really high cuisine standards. a high percentage of people smoke >>> Yes. people don't drink beer, >>> Not true. you have to know at least some French before you go (which Im working on, sorta) >>> Knowing basic French IS important, but it doesn't have to be perfect. The belief that visitors who don't speak perfect French will be treated badly is a myth. ...also, what are the French generally like... >>> Most Europeans are more formal than most Americans, but that is the main difference. I have this whole wonderful fantasy in my head about France and French people. Im going there in February, and im hoping it will be an unforgettable experience. I hope my expectation aren't too high... >>> Paris is a wonderful city and one of the world's special places. Go there with a positive attitude and you will almost certainly have a great experience.
