jailing ninja


Hopkins student killed intruder with sword.

I looked it up through BING, and on the right hand side, popped up an ad “great swords, great prices”.

Now, the medical student might face jail time (instead of putting in interning shifts).

It is sad but true that “he who has a hammer in the hand, everything looks like a nail”.

Excessive force? Maybe.

I have a baseball bat somewhere in the house. Even when I am awake, I can’t seem to find it, much less at 2AM.

It’s mostly for assurance.

“the thing we have to fear is fear itself”. Well, we have been defenseless of late, 7 million of us and counting.

TIME cover this week features the faces behind unemployment statistics.

And they don’t look pretty. Just ordinary Americans, facing the camera (unlike the Pilgrim family portrait often seen during Thanksgiving).

I propose a new uniform for the unemployed. That way, we have to put on something every morning, and leave the house with it on. They said when you look for a job, that’s your job.

OK, can I expense it?

Speaking of Ninja. A few years back, loan officers’ shop talk  would include acronyms like NINJ (no Income, no Job), but they wrote the loan docs up anyway.

As long as they got their quota (compliance, or otherwise) overfilled.

Hope our Med student won’t have to serve that long a sentence. In the financial world, he wouldn’t miss much when getting out of jail. Wonder if he purchased the sword from”great swords, great prices”.

Low-tech item, high-tech sales venue. Anything to do with NINJ sure gets you in trouble. Save your fear for fear itself.
