Mott the Hoople
Sweet Jane
Here's a story I think you'd get a kick out of STY. My wife has 3 foreign exchange students working for her this summer at the hotel where she's employed. She invited all three over for dinner. One is from the Ukraine (a 6' tall blonde drop dead beauty too), one is from Budapest, Hungary and the third is from Kryzgystan. My wife invited them over for dinner at our home about a month ago. After dinner we went for a walk around my neighborhood. I live in a very upscale suburb of Columbus. It has the second highest median income in the State. As we were walking around the young ladies couldn't help but notice all the nice homes and they asked me an unusual question. They all wanted to know that given the obvious prosperity of the community, why didn't the homes have bars over the windows for security? By way of an answer I told them for 3 reasons.yeah, what a bunch of wannabees. didn't you hear? being a defenseless victim is the latest craze in europe.
#1. It's prohibited by our fire codes as being unsafe.
#2. The economic situation here is one where there's so few desperately poor and crime rates are so low that such measure aren't felt to be needed. and;
#3. About half the home owners own fire arms and a thief would be in serious jeapordy of losing his/her life by attempting a break in.
All 3 young ladies appreciated the third answer as private ownership of firearms is prohibited in all three countries they are from.
