Black Fun-Day

Gladys stands in front of Brutus, who is sitting in a green chair, with her purse and wearing a beret. "Once more I go into the fray: Overflowing parking lots, lines to enter stores, altercations over low inventory items, long waits to checkout! Black Friday isn't for the weak." "Why don't you just shop online?" Brutus asks. "And miss out on the fun?"
Gladys enjoys elbowing people with impunity and raining blows onto old women who think they are entitled to that last set of matching pajamas. Gladys does strike me as someone who enjoys violence.

I'm going to get my Black Friday done in one trip. I'm not going home and then going back "into the fray". If I go home, I'm staying there.
