The OP lists his location as The Pentagon...and we all know that is symbolic of the over-reaching and hegemonic American War Machine that often pulls the trigger against unsuspecting, benovolent despots!
In fact, if I see any five-sided objects reminiscent of that frightful building, I typically go catatonic with fear and my family needs to ensure a sick day is called-in to my employer. |

I buy all my stuff with my own money, which I worked for. Besides, there's nothing wrong with having ultra rich parents. :D

Not sure what you mean. But I go to a "junior" college (inside joke...)so my parents are not doing a good job.

SAMsation7- a veiled reference to a SAM (surface-to-air) missile ? Can we say "pushed the red button?".
THe horror... the horror... |

Even to this day her mother doesn't recognize her. :(

"I slaughtered the indigenous peoples to eliminate a chance of uprising" "I enslaved those of other races" "I beat a woman with a switch no larger than my thumb" Those are phrases that should be PC'd. Pulling the trigger... means what, exactly? You shot something? 99% of the things I've shot at haven't been alive... most are some sort of fused ceramic. What's the offense, again? |
I invoked wallet-emptying procedure #<your incrementing number here> successfully. :D

How many bikes does this buy?

In such cases, the correct usage when purchasing a WalMart bike is "pulling the finger," as in "I pulled the finger on a GMC Denali".

As a tournament shooter (trap mostly, sporting clays sometimes), I pull the trigger about 300-500 rounds a month average. Guns are nothing to fear if you learn how to shoot and clean them. My former gf slept with a hunting knife with a 7" blade...I found a lump under my pillow one night (hmm, do miss that woman) and she says "oh, be careful don't cut yourself"...lol. Knives scare me, not guns.

How about:
"To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of their women." |

So you're saying that you rule a third world country? If that's indeed the case...then be afraid my friend. Be very afraid.
