I feel bad for the men who refuse to see the issue here and just want to continue hating women. They don’t know they’re ignorant.
Bear dont know nothin 'cept it likes what it likes.
I've eaten a few and can't say political affiliation impacts that experience but hey, I'm not a bear either.
Tell her she looks very talented and you would like her to "bring up the rear" for her position.
Lemme Guess: Some Liberal Arts major from an Ivy League University figured this one out all by themselve!
True story. My dad and I had borrowed forty thousand back in the early seventies to buy land and build a mechanic shop. Things were a bit slow when we opened the doors and dad was sitting around while I changed a water pump for a man. We didn't have a sign keeping customers out of the work area. I started changing the water pump and the customer started asking why I didn't do things differently. Three minutes in, he had objected to the way I did things three times. I put my tools down and went to the desk. No air conditioning so I leaned a chair back against the wall in front of a fan and started reading a trade magazine that had arrived that morning.
I watched dad and the customer easing up out of the corner of my eye. Dad asked what was going on. "He knows how to change the water pump better than I do, I figured I would let him do the job." Hasty backtracking on the customer's part! "OK then, you sit here and I will go finish the job."
Another time a very tall customer was leaning over my shoulder so closely I had to get him to move before I could straighten up, over and over! I pulled a plug wire with the engine running and as usual he was in the way. I flipped the plug wire a couple times and it landed on the battery. Nice little explosion! The battery was under warranty and it only cost me twenty bucks to replace it. Some of the best money I ever spent. The customer got the hell out of the way!
One of my favorite signs said "Answers $1.00. Right answers $10.00"
Took awhile to train customers but they learned don't jack with the mechanic while he is trying to work.
Ah, one more story: I was overhauling an engine with the block in the car in my teens. Doing it at a service station. First and last time. Oil dripping in my eyes and half the customers that came in had to come lean on the car to see what I was doing. This didn't take long to get old. There was an old three or four pound ballpeen hammer with a steel pipe handle laying near me. About the tenth time in an hour when somebody came up and leaned on the car fender I flung that hammer against their shin bones! "Oops, I dropped my hammer!" as the customer hobbled off.
The good ol' days when times were rotten but you didn't have to tolerate stupid people or be hit with a lawsuit!

There was an old concert or opera piece that called for cannon fire. That would get the balcony's attention if they loaded the cannon! Probably the same piece and they are going lightweight in rehearsal.
Ha! Just realized when the authorities find my cannon I can tell them I am a musician!

Our neighbor had a cannon sitting in his yard. A new family moved in across the street. My father was the chief of police and the new neighbor came to his office complaining about the cannon. My dad replied that cannon isn't hurting anything. The new homeowner emphatically replied well then have him turn it so it is pointed at your house.
Coming home drunk to this.
Pretty sure Mexico's northern border is identical to the US's northern border.
I was in the middle of turning a pair of wooden cannons with five feet diameter wheels and six feet barrels when Hurricane Ida took my shop. I had the places picked out about halfway up my drive so when somebody dropped off the highway and down a fairly steep incline they would find themselves facing a pair of full sized revolutionary war style cannons. Once painted they would have looked very real.
Another toy I was looking for a barrel for, a bowling ball cannon! Black powder cannons are completely legal to own, no paperwork required. Even better, used bowling balls can be had cheap or free and the finger holes make some wicked oscalating whistling noises as they fly.
True story, a pair of brothers found a huge cannon in Lake Ponchatrain. The barrel is fourteen feet long and the bore a foot or more. It was in about ten feet of water, most of the lake isn't deep. They worked their asses off for three days getting it up. The local government sat back and watched knowing they could stake a claim to it. After the brothers got it to shore the bastards seized it. It sits in front of the town hall now!
Speaking of narrow minded authorities, I was near England Airforce Base where they trained pilots on Warthogs. Those things are ugly but they sure can cook. I had a screaming red wrecker that they buzzed at least three times. Came at me head on and very low once, a wee bit intimidating. Another time they blindsided me in poor light and came across my driver's door, rocked my world before I even knew they were there. Only short notice when they dropped in nose to nose but a lot better than no notice. There was a live fire range nearby and it wouldn't matter much if it was just a burst of 30mm dummies that hit a one ton wrecker. They were just playing of course!
Another time I sent two of my men out in the wrecker to pick up a car I bought. They came back noticeably pale. A pair of 'hogs had rocked their world too. When that happens you are waiting for the next "gotcha"! One of the big brass came by my business wanting something as a customer and I laughed about the wrecker story, just my first at the time. He didn't laugh at all, wanted a couple pairs of wings and more, a very serious offense. My memory concerning where and when got bad in a hurry.
Training pilots involves the occasional oops and two guys found a warthog engine in a local river. Shallow river, I assume it was partially above the surface. They figured a jet engine would be cool to have and in a navigable river, legitimate salvage. Didn't take long for the news to spread and the air force paid them a visit. Give them the engine back or get a crapload of serious charges, parts of those engines were top secret! They were told their first stop would be a military prison, their second stop might be over water, very very deep water! The air force got their engine back.
