Nephew shoots gun on New Years Eve, hits water pipe

Self | 1/1/06 | Supernatural

[Supernatural]

Called my sister shortly before midnight. She said her husband has three guns loaded to shoot off for New Year's Eve. I don't approve of this. I told her to shoot the guns into the ground, not into the air.

They followed my advice. When my nephew shot one of the guns into the ground he hit a water pipe. Now water is gushing out of the ground. Just desserts.

What can I say?

[Supernatural]

They live in Brunswick, GA...

[SmithL]

Hold muh beer and watch this . . .

heh heh heh

[RoseofTexas]

Bawhahahhahha....sorry I can't help but LAUGH...bawahahahha!!

[Paleo Conservative]

Why waste perfectly good ammunition when a firecracker can make the same amount of noise?

[DGray]

"water pipe" ... uh huh huh huh, uh huh huh huh.

[blu]

Have they called FEMA yet? Has the president apologized yet? Do they know how to drive a bus??!

[fish hawk]

A few years back I was at a party for New Years and the guy took his shotgun outside and shot up in the air. He hit the main wires coming into his house and the electricity went off and ruined the whole party. The Electric co had to come and put it all back together and they weren't too happy about it.

[an amused spectator]

Remind me never to go hunting with your brother-in-law...

[jazusamo]

Sounds like you might have saved some hurt. A broken water line is a lot less painful than a hole in the top of a head. The Arabs in the Middle East haven't learned that yet.

[Marine_Uncle]

What an article to read just prior to signing off! What can I say! Happy new year and may God bless ya!

[PAR35]

"You may be a redneck if..."

At least they don't have to worry about it freezing.

[digitalbrownshirt]

There's a new widower and some orphans in NYC this week because of people shooting guns off to celebrate. A mom leaned out her apartment window to see what the commotion was in the street below. Some dumbass shot her through the eye as she leaned out.

Better a hole in the water pipe than a hole in somebody's head.

[Supernatural]

Well, Happy New Year to everyone and don't waste bullets.

[HighlyOpinionated]

I thought this was against the law.

FIRST off, they may need that ammunition to fight the hordes of Muslims who plan to over run our Country.

Second, they may need that ammunition to fight off the illegal undocumented drug smugglers who have access to the USA from all borders.

Third, they may need that ammunition to fight off a New Orleans gang who tries to invade their home.

There are countless better uses for ammunition than "celebrating" the New Year by wasting it.

[JRios1968]

Is your brother-in-law related, in any way, to Bobby Knight?

ROME PING!!

[Liaison]

LOL. Your right about guns and celebrations. Though its better than in Baghdad for New Years watching the tracers and the mortars go up and come down. God bless us all. Everyone.

[Supernatural]

Close. His name is Bobby Murphey.

My sister says that Murphey's law took over, like it usually does.

[Poser]

It's Bush's fault. Chimpeachment!

[JRios1968]

Look at it from the positive side...at least Darwin wasn't invited...

[motzman]

Nephew: "I broke the Dam"

[COEXERJ145]

Maximum Penetration!

You have to be a "Tremors" fan to get this.

[cmsgop]

Classic!

[cmsgop]

LMAO!!!!

[Pikachu_Dad]

Better get on a rock.

[HoustonCurmudgeon]

Your sister is married to an idiot, further given the ground penetration of a handgun, just what was he firing?

[PGalt]

Look at the bright side.

At least he wasn't takin' a hit off a water pipe.

HAPPY NEW YEAR FREEPERS AND LURKERS!

[txroadkill]

LOL, the worst part is there is no way you'll be able to get a plumber out to fix it tonight, if you call Roto Rooter they aren't going to believe you.

[Supernatural]

A .38 Colt Cobra nickle plated that I gave my sister for personal protection, a ruger 10/22 and I think a 9mm Glock.

I don't think they bury the water pipes too deep down there. They don't have to worry much about the pipes freezing.

[steveegg]

You beat me to it :-)

[steveegg]

Time for a PSA - Whether digging with a shovel, a backhoe, or a .38 Special, call Diggers' Hotline before you dig.

At least they didn't hit the sewer line or gas main; that would have been REAL ugly.

[Sarajevo]

Note to self: Bury water lines deeper.........

[Supernatural]

Actually, I'm sitting here a little high on vodka and orange juice and really enjoying the comments. I'm going to send my sister a link to this thread...

And no, I didn't shoot off any guns for New Year's Eve. And I'm out of the big firecrackers I had for the Fourth of July. So I just stuck my head out the door when the whistle went off and listened to everyone else going wild.

[HairOfTheDog]

Well, that'll learn ya.

[bd476]

Supernatural, thanks for posting this, great story! Just curious, does your brother-in-law go by the name Cousin Ed?

[Supernatural]

I'm glad everyone is getting a kick out of it. No, we just call him "Bobby". He's actually a pretty good guy and has done this every New Year's Eve for a long time. But I had a strange feeling about tonight. Thought for sure someone would shoot themselves in the foot...

[Ciexyz]

Awwwww.....

[Fido969]

Ah, well.

Too bad they didn't hit OIL. Black gold... Texas T.

[Fido969]

... And then one day he was shootin' at some food,

And up through the ground came a bubblin' crude...

Happy New Year, all!

[ChefKeith]

So next year are they gonna buy/make some BLANKS?

[Supernatural]

Just poured myself another vodka and orange juice (about 4 shots of vodka in each one). Watching "Soundstage" on WQED Pittsburgs public TV. Buddy Guy up next. Then another episode of Soundstage coming up. Every now and then i check for comments. Enjoying the heck out of them. Freepers are very clever people.

Blanks? They don't use no stinkin' blanks in Georgia.

[staytrue]

You know there may be a good song in this ala Red neck Woman.

[Supernatural]

Paging Doug from Upland...

[Supernatural]

Love your tagline.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

Got some duck tape?

[RouxStir]

"The Arabs in the Middle East haven't learned that yet."

They have Kevlar turbans.

[ChefKeith]

Working on #2 Crown Royal rocks, just got off work from pulling a double shift at the H20 plant.

Well, MAYBE they should try blanks for an operation like this- it beats fixing the H2O line;)

I think I'll add judges to the tagline.

Yeah, that looks more complete.

Happy New Year from Texas.

[Dan from Michigan]

Gotta know your target!!

That's why I put my guns away when I drink!

[Dan from Michigan]

It is a good song. Now if I can get Gretchen Wilson's number.......

[Supernatural]

I'm with you on the blanks, but they've got this tradition down in Georgia...

I'm raising my glass in a toast to you and all the other Freepers on this thread. Enjoy the night and the New Year.

[Solamente]

She didn't even lean out the window; she walked up to it and the bullet came through the glass and into her eye.

They arrested a drunk soldier just home from Iraq.
