God bless little old women . . . . .
There were protesters on the concourse handing out pamphlets
on the evils of Australia . I politely declined to take one.
An elderly woman was behind me getting off the escalator and a young (20-ish) female protester offered her a pamphlet, which
she politely declined. The young protester put her hand on the woman's shoulder as a gesture of friendship and in a very soft
voice said, 'Lady, don't you care about the children of Iraq ?'
The elderly woman looked up at her and said,
'Honey, my father died during World War I,
I lost my husband in World War II,
I lost a son in Korea and a grandson in Afghanistan .
All fought and died so you could have the freedom to stand
here and bad mouth our country. If you touch me again, I'll stick
this umbrella up your arse and open it!'
................God Bless Australia !!!
