Another good cover story if you are "made" while carrying

[Dizzipator]

This story over on FreeRepbulic gave me an idea for another cover story if someone asks about a strange bulge under your clothing.

I used to just rely on the old "its a colostomy bag" line to get rid of intrusive strangers. You would be amazed how well that works. It puts people on the defensive, which they should be because they should not be so nosy in the first place. Rare is the person who will push beyond that, and if they do, you can easily make them drop the topic.

Anyway, the story on FreeRepublic is about some poor Canuck who was strapped with a portable heart monitor on his belt. Some squeamish ninny spotted the bulge, called the cops, who then showed up and proceeded to man-handle this poor heart-patient without having the decency to even ask him any questions before roughing him up.

So, maybe now if anyone asks I will say that that bulge is just my heart monitor, and no, they may not see it. Not only that, but I can that that it is upsetting to talk about, if need be, to get them to drop it.

New product, defensive heart moniter. Has built in Taser, press trigger and everybody falls down.

A very good friend of mine had a temporary colostomy bag. When he first got out of the hospital, I told him it was better than a gun because far fewer people would like to be hit with it than a bullet.
He laughed so hard he dislodged it.

Hey Lavan, I'm tryin' to eat!! *bbllech*

I always tell them that its a cellular phone (which is usually the small buldge from the handle of a full-size auto). Livin' in Atlanta allows me the ability to say such things because 9X% of the populus (excluding myself) own one and use it regularly.

HANG UP AND DRIVE DAMNIT!
