ONE OF THE WALL STREET PROTESTERS SALUTED ME

I can't figure out why this happened. I have been trying to figure out the psychology of why a young man would for some reason give me the middle finger salute. I finally came to the conclusion that he was angry at me because I was part of the establishment.

Here is what happen. First of all I have to tell you I have a nice car. Not a Rolls or a Porsche, but a really nice black Infinite. I have to tell you I have earned this vehicle by working hard (and smart). For example during the last two weeks I have put in over 70 hours each week. I am not complaining but just trying to justify my Infinite 50FX. It is a good car for me because it is like me. It is a SUV that thinks it is a sports car and I am a old guy (63) who thinks he is a young guy.

On Monday I was in Waterloo Iowa doing a class on how to take your business to the next level. My wife Maggie came along with me.

After the program I put my brief case in the back of my SUV. My car was dirty so I grabbed my California Duster and started wiping down my car. I noticed a guy who was about 25 years old with tattooed arms and sloppy clothes walking accross the parking lot to a car behind me.

I noticed him but did not even make eye contact because I was concentrating on my car. When I got in my car my wife, who was waiting patiently in the car said that before the young man got into his car looked towards me and although i was not looking he felt it necessary to give me the middle finger salute.

Just why would he do that? Because I have a nice car. Because I cared how it looked? Because apparently I am successful. If someone knows why I deserved this please let me know. I know that my new friend will not be reading this. I doubt if he can read. By the way new friend, if you do happen to be reading this, I did notice that your pants were falling off.
