BWAHAHAHAHA!!!! ROFL :) 'A local sporting goods store is closing, and having a pretty good "going out of business sale", so I went to check it out. They had some good prices, so I bought a few "essentials". Went to the checkout line, and the guy in front of me was buying two of the folding Coleman camping toilets and a book on "simple eating/cooking". I started to plop my 250 rounds of 12 gauge, 1000 rounds of .22 and 200 rounds of .38 on the counter. He takes a good look at my stuff and says "I guess no one will be trying to take YOUR food away"! I leaned over and said in a low voice "I didn't buy any food. I figure I'll just sneak up on people when they're sitting on their portable toilet, shoot them, and take THEIR food". He looked at me for a second, then we both busted out laughing (including the clerk). Well, guess you had to be there, but it really was funny. One thing I bought for $30.00 was a Coleman collapsable camp oven designed to be used over the burner of a camp stove. Anyone have any experience with one of them? -- Online2Much (it_was_funny@the.time), February 13, 1999 greenspun.com
