Back at the Turret

I really despise that statement: “back at the turret.” Don’t you? It’s a blanket insult to all men in the armed forces who’ve manned a turret before. My job is simply annoying, which is why I choose to ignore it sometimes. Those of you in the business know exactly what I speak of. It’s hard to be an over-achiever 365 days a year. Every so often, one fancies to do nothing but exercise and  listen to gangster rap music, while one’s wife becomes irate over the explicit content of such songs.

Look, the market is beyond annoying right now, fixed on every congressional press release, detached from reality. I’ve made my bed, long and leveraged at 130%, so I am lying in it.

That’s all there is to it.

Whether I will be proven right or wrong is immaterial. Of course I should be proven correct, since my bet is the high probability trade. I go with the percentages and this is my call. If you don’t like it, leave.

Oh, I hope you short sellers rather enjoyed today’s reversal.

      “Pal” is a little old around these parts. Being the innovator that I am, I found a new expression that annoys her even more.

      No, it’s not friendo either. She thinks I am retarded for saying that. She has never seen the movie.

      BEHOLD, for the new annoying series of words are:

      “Look here”

          For example:

          Kindly interrupt her while she’s telling you something, completely unimportant, for a very important message, such as “Look here, go get me that beer in the fridge.”

            Yes and you can use those exchanges as a “test lab” of sorts to refine/modify your experiments. Indeud…

          Excellent irritant. Our 20 year old would say “that is so annoying”.

            Ah, the stupid 20 year old. You can easily trick he or she by asking “define annoying, in the traditional sense.”

            “Look here” can be utilized whilst smoking a pipe and wearing reading glasses. Merely look over the top of the glasses while staring at the end of the pipe. Then make your announcement.

    I can only listen to gangster rap when I work out or am preparing myself for sport. Other than than that it should not be permitted.
