Game Over

I friend of Linda's at the gym took off from his lifeguard job yesterday because a new video game was coming out.  It's Call of Duty or Modern Warfare, Linda can't remember which one he said it was.  He usually helps her take down the lanes in the pool, get the equipment out and then assists a handicap lady into the pool for her class.  Last night, she was on her own because he "had" to play his new game all day/night long.  At least he's not like a guy in Colorado who threatened to shoot all the employees and blow up the Best Buy yesterday because the Duty-Warfare game he pre-ordered was no longer in stock.  Maybe violent video games really do make kids more violent.  Linda had to put the pool back together herself too.  By the time she was done, she just wanted to get dry and warm.  She almost left and forgot the handicap woman in the pool!  That would have been game over for her.
