APAD: Straight Shooter

------------------------------------------------

As you can see from pictures above (which are worth two thousands words btw), the idiom "Straight Shooter" now has little to do with guns nor real shooting, but a type of personality.  

I appreciate people like that, and have met a few in my life and felt very lucky to be friends with some of them.  Their honesty and directness might be "hard to swallow" (2nd idiom ;-) sometimes, but they will certainly come to help when I'm in a time of need (3rd one）: "friends in need are true friends indeed" ;-)

Also, I think Maowi the cat is a Straight Shooter too, but a cat one. 

Happy Saturday to All!
