Cleaning guns with the kids is almost as much fun as shooting them.

Don't know, never shot any kids. :-)


As soon as I hit the send button, I *knew* someone would catch that!


I was wondering how you wad them up enough to get them down the bore.

also remember punctuation saves lives

"Let's eat grandma"
"Let's eat, grandma"


The 'them' obviously refers to the subject of the sentence, to wit: 'cleaning guns'.
It most certainly did not refer to the subject of the prepositional phrase, 'with the
kids'!

Now, all you English majors leave me alone and go fix your turkey or whatever. We're
having in-laws over for dinner. Will fix a prime rib today. Tomorrow all the kids get
here - turkey and ham.
