Weekend Writing Challenge: Sometimes We Fight
July 19, 2010
The shit people believe is unbelievable.
"Rockets that can go around corners! It's bloody true!"
"Bollocks Jimbo, have a thought for a second about the aerodynamics involved. You've got a missile travelling at fuck-knows how fast right?"
"Right."
"And this missile has teeny tiny wings right?"
"Right."
"But 'somehow', it can steer and manoeuvre better than say, an F1-11 jet, which has to deploy it's swing-wings in order to turn in a nice tight arc of ooh… 2 frigging miles? Get off it!"
"But I saw it on CNN – they're all talking about these smart missiles."
"Oh, CNN! ex-kyooze me! Now, so, because the twats at CNN, who have a HUGE agenda, tell you a missile can blow up an arms-depot, but leave the hospital next-door intact – you accept it as gospel truth?"
"Sure, it's the fucking NEWS mate, the NEWS! The news doesn't lie, why would it?"
"Yep, a missile can perform a precision demolition in a split second, that normally takes MONTHS for an entire HIGHLY skilled demolition team to perform, planting explosives at JUST the right spot, and setting them off with mathematical precision?"
"Fuck you Kennedy."
