Meanwhile in Peru

This picture resonates with me for some reason, which I will try to explain. To me, this young man isn’t real but a hallucination of President Bush. He’s an embodiment of the poor nations’ vengenance against fat-cat imperialism. Each night, Bush has nightmares where this young man comes to him with a huge pair of scissors to cut his balls off.

    @t36 — I agree that the scissors in your photo are more impressive, but I think the lad who wields them in my photo is more impressive. He has the sort of expression that leads me to believe he might wield those scissors in the way I describe without feeling much remorse. (And why should he?)

    @george — I can’t speak for Bush, who is the dreamer in my hypothetical scenario. As for me, I think the kid is cute, but I might prefer a dream without scissors.
