There's no telling about dudes like 'Joe'. There's a lot of things being said about him. Hell, I even heard someone say he's your right hand............ man! I told that person "No fuckin' way!!! They're not even connected!" That person said "I'm not sayin' they're connected at the hip!" So I said "Well then, what are you sayin'??? They're connected at the wrist???"
dtr, I just hope you're safe with Joe around! What with all his death threats and everything. I hope it never happens, but there's always the chance of 'auto strangulation '. That's the kinda' shit that happens in cars and stuff like that!
Maybe you could put him on your christmas list and get on his good side. Maybe give some generic kind of gift just to let him know you care......... and stuff like that. If he works outdoors he might appreciate some high quality hand cream... or somethin' like that.
Just some thoughts I had.
