Of Curse She's Upset
I recall when author Christopher Buckley was entering a room to give a speech when a woman came up to him and started berating him. She stated she had picked up one of his books and the first word she saw was a curse word. She wanted him to know how upset she was that he would put curse words in his writings. After the woman stormed off, Chris Buckley turned me and said, referring to the speech that he was about to give, "in about one hour, that woman is going to be VERY upset."
Incidentally, Chris Buckley has a hilarious story about the time he gave Vice President George Bush a bomb that Bush wanted to hold up for a press conference and how Bush's dog buried the bomb in the flower bed and the Secret Service was frantically looking everywhere to find to where the bomb has disappeared. It's his story, so I won't repeat it (although you already got the bulk of the story), but he has lots of good lines about this true incident. If you ever have the chance to ask him about it, do so.
