Amos Hart--Sheepdog & Gom Jabbar
"Amos Hart--Sheepdog & Gom Jabbar"
Okay. Ginger was a Nun. A hound for the Lord. A Dominican. Chaste, save her nicotine habit; specifically, an ascetic Nun who burned Chief Mojo Rising. Good for her. Back in the 1950's--a Nun could have a smoke break.
Amos Hart was a dog, in many ways. Every Good Shepherd needs a sheepdog. Ginger said to Amos: "My friends had this dog they said was human; next, the mutt tore open a chatty chipmunk in gory fashion. The dog was just a savage animal."
Amos replied: "What? Are you the rainbow-eating angel spirit-feeder. Like you haven't eaten meat. Cows have PAX in their eyes. And Jesus cast the demons into swine; thus, I'll bet he was a real Hebrew. Totally, I bet he never ate a pork chop."
"You're such a brat." The words from Sister Ginger.
Amos knew he had to trap a coyote. But when setting a trap for second unto the Great Spirit--the animal usually traps you. Amos meekly kissed Ginger's hand, she was a Sister, maybe his, saying: "There is no way out."
Yet Ginger also vocalized mercy: "A sheepdog never goes to slaughter. And if he does, puppies are golden. Get me? I've already played the pestering part of steroids and their side-effects. Now, take your hand out of the Gom Jabbar. Too, save some bunnies, will ya . . ."
