WOW!

Gun in one bag, ammo in another. Maybe I'm lucky, but have never been asked for how much ammo, or wanted to see it. I just walk to the counter, tell them I have a gun in luggage to declare. Usually they ask if there is any ammo in the bag with the gun, say no and end of story. Don't ask Don't tell, if it's good enough for Uncle Sam, good enough for me!

Merlin, let me know it that works, I've got a couple that the dremel got away from me on!!

I was at a business meeting, watching out of the corner of my eye in the bar, what a game.....gotta watch the end again when I get home!

SO, whats the f*#kin' difference?

A recent study says that Americans walk 900 miles per year. Another study says that Americans drink, on average, 22 gallons of beer annually. This means that we, as proud Americans, get 41 miles per gallon. Makes me proud to be an American.

Man, the worst thing is I now find that I'm living in POVERTY! No wonder I can't find a girlfriend!

The Ventriloquist A young ventriloquist is touring the clubs and one night he's doing a show in a small town in Arkansas. With his dummy on his knee, he starts going through his usual dumb blond jokes. Suddenly, a blond woman in the 4th row stands on her chair and starts shouting: "I've heard enough of your stupid blond jokes. What makes you think you can stereotype women that way? What does the color of a person's hair have to do with her worth as a human being? It's guys like you who keep women like me from being respected at work and in the community, and from reaching our full potential as a person. Because you and your kind continue to perpetuate discrimination against not only blonds, but women in general...and all in the name of humor!" The embarrassed ventriloquist begins to apologize, and the blond yells, "You stay out of this, mister! I'm talking to that little shit on your knee".

Good luck, hope its everything you want!

It is important for men to remember that, as women grow older, it becomes harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as when they were younger. When you notice this, try not to yell at them. Some are oversensitive, and there's nothing worse than an oversensitive woman. My name is Jim. Let me relate how I handled the situation with my wife, Terri . When I retired a few years ago, it became necessary for Terri to get a full-time job along with her part-time job, both for extra income and for the health benefits that we needed. Shortly after she started working, I noticed she was beginning to show her age. I usually get home from the golf club about the same time she gets home from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts dinner. I don't yell at her. Instead, I tell her to take her time and just wake me when she gets dinner on the table. I generally have lunch in the Men's Grill at the club so eating out is not reasonable. I'm ready for some home-cooked grub when I hit that door. She used to do the dishes as soon as we finished eating. But now it's not unusual for them to sit on the table for several hours after dinner. I do what I can by diplomatically reminding her several times each evening that they won't clean themselves. I know she really appreciates this, as it does seem to motivate her to get them done before she goes to bed. Another symptom of aging is complaining, I think. For example she will say that it is d ifficult for her to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. But, boys, we take 'em for better or worse, so I just smile and offer encouragement. I tell her to stretch it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so much. I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't hurt her any (if you know what I mean). I like to think tact is one of my strong points. When doing simple jobs, she seems to think she needs more rest periods. She had to take a break w hen she was only half-finished mowing the yard. I try not to make a scene. I'm a fair man. I tell her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade and just sit for a while. And, as long as she is making one for herself, she may as well make one for me too. I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Terri. I'm not saying that showing this much consideration is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible! Nobody knows better than I do how frustrating women get as they get older. However, guys, even if you just use a little more tact and less criticism of your aging wife because of this article, I will consider that writing it was well worthwhile. After all, we are put on this earth to help each other. Signed, Jim EDITOR'S NOTE: Jim died suddenly on February 7 of a perforated rectum. The police report says he was found with a Calloway extra-long 50-inch Big Bertha Driver II golf club jammed up his rear end, with barely 5 inches of grip showing, and a sledge hammer laying nearby. His wife Terri was arrested and charged with murder. The all-woman jury took only 10 minutes to find her Not Guilty, accepting her defense that Jim, somehow, without looking, accidentally sat down on his golf club.

I wish that I sat around on my ass enough to justify it!

Gotta love Barbed wire and an Come a Long!

Two quick thoughts for my .02 worth. First, after people have been shooting a stage and not getting penalized, how can you then penalize someone for doing the same thing they have been watching as OK? How is that consistent and how is that even remotely justified? I've looked all thru the USPSA rule books ( the old red one, the new green one, and what I can find on the new proposed 2008) and I found penalties for shooting too many rounds on virginia count stages, extra hits, penalties for shots out of a shooing area, over fault lines, but I'm missing where the ones on "What shooter was thinking"....can someone direct me there?

They have already marginalized speed as a tactic and skill........

Never, mine is going on 5yrs old now.

LOSER!

You may want to talk to Joe Touchson out of Houma LA. He only has use of one hand, but has better reloads than me. He knows these rules pretty well. Good Luck and Great to have you as a member.
