Actually, the title says the PEOPLE have a friend in you...It doesn't necessarily say that YOU have a friend. Who knows, maybe the friendship is one-sided...:P

They only want me for my money!

All that money I made at my free clinic!

"People's Friend" sounds like a communist government official's title.

Well that's a job i would take for considerably less than any of shaggys listed prices. Oooh that's a dream job if I ever heard one. If you miss what I'm talking about I will spell it out for you. As a practitioner of certain skills (ie: I'm a mercenary) I would love to have to put my skills to the test on the person miyabi loves (ie: Hilary). If anyone would like to take me out on that contract I will only charge for food and the cost of the bullet. ;D

I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with Shaggy on this one Monsta....Using a bullet is so...dull. Up the creativity a bit. I mean, how in the world did you get to be a "great" mercenary if you only use bullets? Lame, I say. Lame.

I am now a 'Newbie Mercenary.' I find this line of work MUCH preferable to street brawling…although the term 'Newbie' is a bit too much of an identifier for me.… ;) Then again, it helps 'cause…no one expects all these super-ChuckNorris moves to come out of a NEWBIE!!!!!

Wow I know I've been gone for a while but have I become lame??? I think your right. I took the easy way out on that one and I'm disappointed in my self. I mean sure she is the wife of an ex-president, she was a presidential hopeful and shes a leader in the democratic comunity but I'm sure it wouldn't be too hard to get to her. With all that aside, you are still correct. Bullet?? Really, I said that? Wow. Let me clear that up real quick.

I'm going to stat this off by saying that my price will still be what I quoted minus the cost of the "bullet". In all reality I have acquired many wide ranging skills involving my chosen field. After having spent some time in prison and then going from brawler to sword for hire to mercenary ext. I feel I know a thing or two, not only that but you get to know other people and or groups who are also in your field. I will take this chance to mention shaggy, an aspiring man in our field who finds the need to call me out for my "bullet" when he clearly puts a price on sniping missions in his price quote. But I digress.

So using my knowledge of my field I would most likely contract out the job of taking care of Hilary's security. I mean I am only one man and although I have faith in my evasion tactics it wouldn't do to sneak around just to be caught when Hilary starts to scream in pain. So I would go with the most logical of choices. I would hire a clan of rouge ninjas to efficiently take care of Hilary's on site security. I figure Bill probably isn't with her because, well who would be given the choice. Once her security has been neutralized I will move in. Now you may think that sneaking into someones room and waking them with the point or edge of a rather vicious looking weapon is satisfying but that's not my style. I prefer using the doorbell. This gives Hilary the chance to wonder why no one answering the door. Then it gives her the chance to get out of bed and get dressed (that always stinks when you were sleeping). Here's the best part and you must remember to cut the phone and internet lines before you proceed. Hilary will then have the chance to walk to the door witnessing the aftermath of ninjas intent on killing. Bodies with slit throats and broken necks just strewn about. All this while I relish her screams every time she stumbles accross another body while I wait at the door. Now I know she probably isn't coming to the door at this point so I take the liberty of entering. I perform a slow scan and eventually find little Hilary huddled in a corner tightly holding a kitchen knife. She has this far off look of horror on her face as I slowly pull out my sword. Its nothing special, no decoration but its very sharp and very efficient. At this point she must be realizing that her knife will do her no good as I take the last couple of steps to close the distance. . . . . .

Sniping does not necessarily involve bullets. According to dictionary.com ( 8), 'to snipe' means 'To shoot at individuals from a concealed place.' This does not have any mention of bullets, guns, or other contemporary items that we usually associate with the word 'sniping.' In the noun form (once again, from dictionary.com), a 'snipe' is 'A shot, especially a gunshot, from a concealed place.' As before, no bullets or contemporary assassination equipment(s) are mentioned.

As for that very long and desriptive post about how you are going to kill Hillary Clinton…I'm not going to make a comment for fear that you'll kill me for it. But…suffice it to say that if I had kids, I would be packing my bags for Canada right now. (You don't live in Canada, do you?? :o )
