I’ll translate that ellipsis: the police are part of the liberal establishment. We need more free market marksmen, endowed with the powers of job creation and Christian grace. Such stalwarts could shoot the dick off a fly from 20 paces and have a good chance at hitting the dick of a liberal from 10. ---

I too read Ellipsis, and I must respectfully disagree with my distinguished colleague - it says, “My penis is very small, and I have lots of guns to make up for it. Also, I drive a loud truck and/or motorcycle because my mommy didn’t pay enough attention to me.” ---

> [@kwimby](#): > > 1. Through no fault of his own, OP’s dog gets out and run over by careless driver who flees the scene. > > 2. Bullshit ensues. > > ! “Through no fault of his own” is disputable. “Careless driver” is disputable. “Flees the scene” is disputable. “Bullshit ensues” (as if the bullshit was an act of god) is disputable. Another view might be : 1)Because he’s an irresponsible owner, OP’s dog gets out and despite her best attempt at avoiding the dog, a random driver hits it. While responsably checking on the dog she hits through no fault of her own, she’s scared off by OP. 1. OP who can’t control himself starts a stupid car chase. I don’t necessarily support every one of these points, but it’s an alternate view that is at least as valid as your description (IMO much more accurate, in fact) ---

:rolleyes: I’m starting to belive most of the posters in this thread are just jealous of others with guns, trucks and penises. Pulling alternative views out of their ass makes them feel better about themselves somehow. Enjoy. ---

**Clairobscur** ’s interpretation is a pretty valid one, in my opinion. I don’t understand how “through no fault of his own” is applicable to having your own dog run loose and get hit by a car. As someone said upthread, you’re ultimately responsible for your dog’s behavior. ETA: And I don’t get the “gun jealousy” line of reasoning. For goodness’ sake, a cop even chimed in to say the OP’s actions were irresponsible. ---

I do truck my penis around, and I am a loaded pistol. Does that count? Edit to add: I don’t need a gun to make up for my tiny penis; I drive a Mustang for that. ---

My brother has a truck. We both have our own guns and penises, though. And most of the objects exiting my ass do so of their own accord, if I’m lucky. What was the question, again? ---

I hate to be pedantic, but I’m envious of your guns, trucks and penises.
