I will put angry little old Jewish women up there with the best/worst of them. Some of my relatives have been known to scare the white off of rice if you catch them at the wrong moment.
Side note: I am a very laid back, funloving guy. I may get upset at times, but very VERY few people have ever seen me truly angry. (Those who have tend to run for the hills of another country when they see me blow again.) So, a little while back, my niece tells me about an incident at school, where a boy slapped her twice and then smacked her hard upside the back of her skull. What should she do, she asked?
I told her without question she should go to the school authorities and tell them what happened. If they did nothing, they she should come back and tell me, and I would wake up early in the morning (remember, I am NOT a morning person, ever, and she knows that), go down to that school, march into the administration office, and teach them the new meaning of the phrase "pissed off beyond all reason." (I even would have dressed in a shirt and tie rather than my usual beach bum attire, so that they would take me seriously.) As I am telling her this, her eyes are going wide as saucers, as she has never seen me this worked up, this angry, this fire-in-they-eyes furious. And she said so. And I looked at her and said, "Darlin', this is not pissed off. If I have to go down to that school, you WILL see pissed off!"
She has often said she is glad I have never gotten truly angry with her. Bright kid. (Woe to any of her boyfriends that piss me off.)
Note: There is no emoticon that would accurately depict my feelings during this encounter, so I have left them out. Don't Piss Off The Jester!
