Walter In Denver

Frightening

Earlier this evening I ventured to East Colfax Avenue, a busy street, and which in Denver passes for a bad part of town.

Eh, I know what you're thinking. But I was just there to pick up some Chinese takeout.

As I walked back out to my jeep, parked curbside, I'm assaulted. It's a warm evening, and a car passes by with the windows down. As it nears me a woman leans out of the passenger side and yells something unintelligible. I turn my head to her in time to see her hurl something toward me. I flinch and duck. The missile arcs over my head and thumps against the jeep's canvas top. The car and the woman continue down Colfax, she still yelling and gesturing at me.

What did I do to provoke this? I look down to the pavement to find whatever weapon I've narrowly avoided.

It's... WOO! MARDI GRAS BEADS!

I didn't even have to show my boobies.
