shen, I also had ordinary intelligence, something lacking by the posters here.
these dumb squats are terrified of the bogeyman, and think a gun will make them
a man.

Ever been boarded by "pirates", Doodles? .....didn't think so....

otn

they weren't actually pirates and they didn't actually make it, but they
were
in fact carrying AK-47's backed up by mortar, rockets, and at one point with
heavy artillery, and there were thousands of them. The closest a bullet
ever
came to my head was about six inches (bullets at 6 inches make a different
sound from bullets at 12 inches which is different from two feet from 5 feet
from 10 feet, etc). Did get some shrapnel (a piece of which I still carry)
but
that was from a mortar, which I except no pirate would be carrying, so it
doesn't count.


Personally, Doodles, I wouldn't want to experience either case, but I'm
assuming you had a bit more at your disposal, for defense, than a fire hose
or
foam monitor?

LOL Shame they did away with Lyle guns.
