To SH*T or not to SH*T…That’s the question…
or at least that was the question everyone’s favorite drunk Trailer Park Supervisor Jim F’n Lahey would ask…and did ask me today.
Mr. Lahey and Randy of Canada’s own Trailer Park Boys are in Victoria today doing a show at Legends. A Co-worker of mine Daffodil Bob was in the parking lot at a local McDonalds when none other than Lahey and Randy pull up.
Randy goes into McDonalds to get some cheeseburgers and Lahey walks up to Daffodil Bob and asks (in full character) “Can I bum a smoke bud?” After some convincing that he is in fact Mr Lahey Daffodil Bob (A huge fan of the Trailer Park Boys himself) has him call me on my cell phone and ask if there are any “SH*T puppets there”.
At first I thought Daffodil Bob was just pulling my leg but after a while I went along with it and complemented him on using a good “S*IT metaphor”. To which Lahey replied…”To SH*T or not to S*IT, that’s the question bud”
Not missing a beat (and trying to hold back the laughter) I shot back with “whether tis nobler in the mind to suffer the slings and arrows of outrageous SH*T, or take arms against a sea of SH*T and by opposing to end them” Lahey replies…“That’s the question bud…that’s the question”
Never has a more prolific SH*T metaphor been spoken. If only I had been at McDonalds this morning.
