Say it with an Image.

Historical note: The phrase "between a rock and a hard place" is a century old and derives from the copper mining town Bisbee, Arizona, on the Mexican border.
The Bisbee Deportation as the illegal kidnapping and deportation of about 1,300 striking mine workers, their supporters, and citizen bystanders by 2,000 members of a deputized posse, who arrested these people beginning on July 12, 1917. [They] were arrested and held at a local baseball park before being loaded onto cattle cars and deported 200 miles (320 km) to Tres Hermanas in New Mexico. The 16-hour journey was through desert without food and with little water. Once unloaded, the deportees, most without money or transportation, were warned against returning to Bisbee."​
The rock: Bisbee, AZ
The hard place: raw desert
The crime: capitalism

I did not know any of that. Holy cow.

It's nice to see you Hypoxia. :)

Thankfully the incident for me has resolved and I am no longer between the rock and the hard place. :cool:
 
Apparently you liked it so much you posted it twice.

Are you not getting the attention you think you need?
