THE STOOOPID, IT BURNS!

Just got back from errand running at my local Kroger.  Was wearing my USMC Infantry baseball hat and some dipshit hit me up in the fruit and veg section and said,

"Thank you for your service."

To which I replied, 

"You already did.  Twice every month on the first and the fifteenth."

To which he idiotically responded,

And then he said,

"You must really hate that foreign woman running against our president."

Apparently, my comment served to remind him that he had important doings elsewhere in the store just then.

In retrospect, and thinking about this little episode, I feel my admittedly somewhat unhinged response wasn't so much precipitated by his insult of Kamala, or even that he was a supporter of Jabba the Shit Gibbon.  But rather because of this:
