The British anti-gun snark aside, I have to give a polite nod and honorable mention for the Darwin Awards based on the obvious effort at winning one. Better luck next year.

That’s why you put your tannerite in a plastic jug or cardboard tube before shooting at it.Shrapnel is very nasty.

If a friend says, “hold my beer” while holding a gun, and it’s nowhere near his first beer, maybe it’s time to intervene.

[Note: I’m a sissy when it comes to drinking and firearms. I leave or put away all firearms at the first sign of a beer. I’m attached to my legs, and I’d like to keep it that way.]

That’s not sissy. That’s a sound instinct for self preservation. I observe the same rule. Guns and booze don’t mix. If I see anyone drinking and handling firearms, I’m outta there.

Cardboard. Plastic can be shrapnel, too.
