My last entry made me think about people going postal. Hmmmmmmm. Such a modern term. What did they call it back in the 1300s? You know there were people who went ape-shit about things and rampaged through their villages. Did they burn things with torches? Going torchy? Going pyro? Did they steal one item here-and-there to make people in their community think they were losing it? Going bandit?
I bet it was going crazy. Being a lunatic.
It's funny (not "ha ha" funny) how we call it going postal. It's the same old thing as it always was. Someone is unbalanced and goes over the edge. They went (or are going) crazy. Why don't we call it going gunny...
