BAMF Story of the Week (Week 4)

It is Tuesday, and you know what that means....it is time for another BAMF. I remind everyone that these are completely true stories that have either happened to myself or a close acquaintance of mine. This one comes from a close encounter that I had with a BAMF while at work.

A customer had came in to make a payment on her policy and had brought her son. We directed the customer to Bruce (our boss) while the son stayed outside. The son immediately began asking us questions about sports. He immediately was very interesting to me and Chad b/c he sounded a lot like Napoleon Dynamite. He said that his high school used to have a football team, but they didnt anymore. We asked him why his school didnt have a football team and he said that he kept hurting all of the other players because he was so strong. He said that the school had to shut the program down b/c he kept hurting everyone. The kid that was saying this was about 5'7'' and maybe 145 lbs soaking wet. He then goes on to say that he is training to become a professional wrestler and is perfecting his finishing move. He says I call it "the spear", basically I get in a three point stance and tackle the other guy head first. By now Bruce is finishing up with the customer as the son is leaving he says I can't decide if I want to be a clean or a dirty wrestler when I go pro. I encourage him to keep talking by saying if I was a wrestler I would be a clean wrestler so I could take showers and stuff. He says not clean and dirty like that I mean clean, like a good guy or dirty like a bad guy. I was actually already fully aware of what he meant, but I wanted him to continue to talk to me. As he was leaving he said I will probably be a dirty wrestler so I can thumb people in the eyes.

What a fun kid, and a great BAMF story!
