The Sunday Sore Man
----
Proverbs 17:22
“A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.”

How long did Cain hate his brother? As long as he was Abel.

The Sunday School teacher asks the children to draw Christmas pictures. She goes over to one student and sees he’s drawn a picture of four people on an airplane.
"What is this?” she asked.
“Mary and Joseph and Baby Jesus on a flight to Egypt,” he says.
“Well… who’s the fourth person?”
“That’s Pontius, the pilot.”

Been a while since I heard that last one!
 
A black man punches a white one in front of a police officer. Instantly gets arrested. Pleading his case, he tells the officer that the white man called him a black basturd. And, all he did was ask the white man for directions to Crawford Avenue.

The white guy says, "I didn't call you a black basturd. I said, You're a block past it."

Phil simply took all of the common S.D. concepts for using a flashlight, and put them into book form. This was back in the day. (Around the time I first joined CPF.) He was known as "The Martialist." (BTW, NOT the same individual on YouTube who runs the channel of the same name.) He's always been controversial. Sometimes needlessly so, as his attitude leans heavily towards arrogance. Will never forget one time he wrote an article on his old The Martialist website about his new watch. He kept buying cheap, digital Timex models that wouldn't survive his martial arts training sessions and his active lifestyle back then. Finally, he bought a Marathon TSAR. Tough as nails. He loved the watch. Though tossed in a line about the letters "SAR" on his new watch. Along with "Whatever that means." Perfect example of attitude where it is completely unnecessary. (SAR stands for Search And Rescue.) He's an accomplished author too. Quite a few books. That whole "Street Sword" controversy back in the day. Not his fault. Paladin Press insisted on that title. Leading many to believe that Phil was advocating for open-carry of swords out on city streets. He wasn't.

And, he's still around. I encountered him on Etsy a couple of years back. Maybe a bit more. Sells a handful of items. Great reputation on Etsy. Last transaction was for numerous pins that slot into the pin-holder section that many 91mm Swiss Army Knives have. Yeah, those pins are rare as hell out in the real world.

Sorry if I made it seem as though he and I are old friends or even acquaintances. He just rubs people the wrong way. Might be wrong, but it does seem as though he's mellowed quite a bit as he's gotten older. He doesn't know that I used to visit his online site back in the day, or that I'm the same guy who conversed with him in the comments section of his YouTube channel, plus the same one who has bought from his Etsy shop a few times. With some individuals, it's just best to keep them at arm's length. Even if you only know them online. He's not a bad guy. You'd invite him to a backyard neighborhood bar-b-que. But perhaps not to a cozy dinner party with friends.

Edit: Typo.

where a homeless man shop-lifted a
$ 50 flashlight from Walmart.

Don't be too shocked. Wal*Mart is the type of business where you can usually get away with stealing something small. Maybe around $5.oo or $10.oo, or so. They won't stop you right away, nor press charges. But now you are on their radar. Wal*Mart's surveillance systems easily rivals that of the FBI's. Facial recognition, all that. (But they just can't pay their employees a decent living-wage.) So that when you come back, they can track and monitor you. Some folks have stolen multiple items from Wal*Mart during several visits.

They get cocky, overly confident. Well, when you get to the point of stealing whatever that state's legal limit is for Grand Theft, THAT is when you get detained. THAT is when Wal*Mart calls the police, and has you prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. That's the way they do things.

As far as that homeless person, he likely just wanted a free meal and a safe place to sleep. Walk into a business, steal something, wait for the store to call the cops. Wait for them to arrive. Admit to what you did. Get arrested. Off to jail for that free meal and safe place to squat for a few hours. Well, this was either Wal*Mart policy at play or.... A very cruel Loss Prevention Supervisor. Realized what the homeless guy was doing, and left him out in the cold to freeze.
