Here's my firearms story. In a high school speech class, one of my classmates gave a demonstration speech on how to make shotgun shells using pellets, powder, shell casings and this contraption that put the whole thing together. The only problem was, he pushed the lever on the contraption a little bit too hard and when it hit the shell, it went off, putting a big hole in the ceiling and scaring the crap out of the whole class. Then there was the guy who demonstrated how to set a rabbit trap, but we'll save that for another day. DSD

"Don't let real men see you drinking a latte." Oh dear. Two stereotypes in one morning. NW men absorb their lattes with lusty, unfeigned affection. Foam is sucked down both nostrils. Picture a smiling Santa Claus in flannel July-wear.

Dear Penni, I do believe you have fallen into the trap of stereotyping. The funny thing is, I have maybe fired a weapon 10 or so times but I am classified as a Marksman?? Just because I shot so many out of 200 rounds near the bull-eye. Go figure... Actually the kind of weapons I like seeing fired shoot thousands of feet up into space! Now those weapons are NOT for woosies. :-) Yes, it's the Marines and Army who really know how to handle guns. And even there it depends on your job. Michael
