I was thinking this would be something about Paris Hilton wearing a bow to counter balance the offset tilt her head seems to always have when a camera is around.

Oh, its not because of the camera? Her head is always twisted and tilted to the side?

I dig tomboys with painted toenails.

There can’t be more than about 3% of American men who could pull an 85-lb bow easily enough to hit anything with it, if at all.

I was glad I was able to assist Teressa in her quest.

I don’t know about that. Those new fangled compound bows are pretty easy to hold steady. The draw weight decreases as you pull back on the string.

Now, an 85# recurve is a different matter. That would be a tough one to shoot.

The ancient English military bows were about 120 pounds pull. Shot right through French armor at Agincourt.

French armor?

Oxymoron of the day?

The only thing more dangerous than being a French armored knight was being the one who had to string the bow.

There's still that little thing about the 85 lbs at mid draw. Like I say, there's probably about 3% of American men who'd get past that point.

At Agincourt the frogs charged into a funnel-shaped field and then trampled themselves at the narrow part of the funnel. Some historians claim that even if no English had been present and the frogs had only been required to plant their lances in straw targets, half of them would have still died.
