Wow, that's one tough son of a bitch

I've got Cops on the TV while I'm working. I look over and I see this guy that looks like he just stepped out of a slasher movie; he's got an enormous gauze turban <B>two inches thick</B> wrapped around his head. Every visible inch of this guy is covered in a mixture of fresh and dried blood. His shirt is soaked - I mean <B><I>soaked</I></B> - with blood. It looks like he dipped his shirt in a bucket of red paint. This man also has a bunch of gauze wrapped around his middle and a big thick patch of gauze taped to his stomach that is also soaked clear through with blood. As he gets up to take off his shirt so the paramedics can keep working on him he's smiling and bullshitting with the medics. I mean, this guy is grinning and acting like the cops and medics are a bunch of old friends over for a night of reminiscing.

Now, the camera is on a cop who is explaining what happened. "What we have is a white male over 40 years old who has been <B><I>stabbed several times in the head</I></B>..." and so on. This is in addition to the hole in this dude's gut. In the meantime, the victim is telling the cops tht he can't roll over on the guys that did this to him. He's saying "I can't give him up. I just can't do that." So, the cops ask him what caused all this and the victim says - get ready for this - <B>"We just don't get along"</B>. This guy deserves some kind of prize for understatement and level-headedness. I mean, WTF! He looks like a walking car accident victim and he's smiling and slapping people on the back while blood is oozing out of holes all over his body.

Now, I consider myself to be pretty tough. I'm not afraid of much and I can suck up pain with the best of them, but I think even I might crack just a little under those circumstances. Maybe not while it's happening, but after the adraneline wears off. This guy walked hiimself home, called the cops and sat around waiting for them to arrive, cool as a cucumber. Then when they show up he practically invites them in for drinks. "Ah, hell, come on in boys. Don't worry about these multiple stab wounds and the pint of blood soaking my clothing."

You have to watch out for those skinny white guys.
