HAahahahahahahah!!!!!That's hilarious, Guy!
I can just see it, too...sort of reminds me of the old joke about the redneck home vassectomy kit -- a firecracker and a beercan...

We could be kin, Half Elven.
Since I'm kin to most everyone in Lowcountry South Carolina, if you live there, there's a much better than even chance you're in the family tree...

No pool, Troosha, but I think we are getting a hot tub...

Strangely enough, Sam, I'm scared of most everything.
The thrill, though, makes it that much more.

Hi Vogue!
Glad you got a charge out of this one. I'm sure I'll be posting more such cautionary tales...

My evil brother, (not a twin)

     He was working at a McDonalds and a mentally dim employee asked him if he could use my brother's sling shot to try to hit seagulls, like Perry was attempting to do. Perry asked him if he knew how to use it. Perry held his right hand next to his ear as if he was holding the business end of the slinger. Then he extended his left hand as if he was holding the wooden end of it. He then opened his left hand and when the guy told him he was ready to try it, he handed him the sling shot and stood back and watched the poor kid nearly kill himself with the wooden crotch part.

     Guy

Am I related to you?
You sound like a lot of my cousins who all had impossibly dangerous childhoods and still manage to scare the crap out of me if I ride in a car with them. :)

Hope there's no pool in the yard.  What a great read!
