I reckon I’d make a fine government executioner. I’d happily execute any and every government without guilt or remorse and in such a way as to discourage others of their ilk. If I heard even a whisper that some bugger imagined himself entitled to extort others under pain of punishment, in return for which he would sit on his arse snorting cocaine and making up silly rules, it would be off with his head quicker than you could say politician.
I could probably pull off the gladiator gig too for a while, but even with my mental and physical agility, it's hardly a career conducive to a long and fruitful life. Besides, I'm opposed to senseless violence and furthermore, governments are the bane of humanity.

And speaking of banes, I cannot but mention my family. Though in my youth I may on occasion have imagined scenarios where they would simultaneously and spontaneously combust, I think I can say that overall, my role as a sister to one and a half brothers has been performed with distinction.
Do you know of another sister who, following her brother's arrest for membership of a proscribed organisation (The IRA) had her boyfriend drive like hell to her sibling's flat, located directly opposite a police station, (I know, you couldn't make it up!) and park outside with the engine running while she raced inside to retrieve a firearm before the police could search the flat?
This long-suffering sister was also her half-brother's sole source of financial support for 30 years until thankfully he became eligible for an old age pension last September. Whether this qualifies as supreme sisterliness or complete lunacy is open to debate.

Posted in response to @galenkp's Weekend Experiences prompts asking 'Are you a good brother or sister?' AND 'If you had to choose between being a Gladiator fighting in the Roman Colosseum or a government executioner which would you choose and why'
The images are my own
I think you're a supreme sister with a hint of lunacy to top it off.
Ah thanks Vincent sweetie. I can always depend on you to say just the right thing.
That is wild! I think it qualifies as supreme sisterliness!
Should you ever need help, just say the word... not that I doubt your stamina!
With your brains and my brawn we'd be an unbeatable combination:)
Definitely the executioner.
Love your stories. Your siblings sound worth keeping. This one's a touchy one for me.
Thanks. It's very sweet of you to say so.
Yes, my siblings are worth keeping...at as much of a distance as I can manage:)
I won't ask!
Doesn't the half brother live right next door? I say supreme sisterliness; I know you care about him. What I don't know is the story of the halfdom.
Indeed he does, so as much distance as I can manage is 20 metres!:)
My mother was married to his father until he had the sense to skedaddle leaving her holding the baby...or so the story goes. Truth is it was difficult to get information from either parent . I have no idea where it was I was born other than it was Dublin and it wasn't in hospital.
You have the guts of a warrior woman, woman. When it is time to act, you act.
I hope you kept the firearm. Seems soon you might just need it.
Alas not. It was on loan from the organisation. Besides, my house was raided twice by the Gardai, though I had no political affiliations, so I had to take it back from whence it came, quick smart.
Woman, you are the real deal. With a very quick wit which you express succinctly in flawless English. Every single time. It's a pleasure. And you can draw!
It might be for the best that you don't know where, exactly, you were born. although I bet you could write a doozy about that event.
Thank you, thank you, you're very kind and if I'm even half as good as you say, I'll consider myself a genius.
I consider you a genius of many sorts, so there's that. You have always chosen to live in peculiar paradigms, all your glorious own. It's very daring! I wanna be you! I did the conventional paradigm thing right up until 2014, which is when I started thinking something was not right. Since then the world's dominant paradigm has devolved into one so simple IT CANNOT BE TRUE. Yet billions live in that particular video game. Now I am struggling to get into a different video game, one that is not a side chain of the dominant CLEARLY INSANE view of reality. Crazy times!
You've got your game on, and always have.
Well you can't do much better than grow your own food, learn homeopathy and whatever the state tells you do the opposite. Who knows what they're going to throw at us? We'll have to learn on the hoof, prepare for the worst and hope for the best. The only thing I'm not sure of is if I've chosen the right country to do it in. Europe is going down the tubes fast but I'm reluctant to move again.
I've thought it was time to stand your ground for a few years now. If everyone who is onto the ruse moves to a "safer" country, who will be around to fight? That said, I am working on getting property in Tennessee, which, so far, is doing good stuff, such as vaccine freedom and prohibition of chemtrails. I have two properties in New York State, which is probably very dangerous, but both counties have sheriffs that have declared themselves to be constitutional sheriffs, which means they will not enforce unconstitutional laws, mandates, regulations. Both places do, however, take whatever money they can get from the government, which always comes with strings. We'll see. On your toes!
