How can it both work and be junk? It can definitely be ugly and either of the other two.

You would think losing control of a firearm around in laws would be more widespread.

This is why balloon rides are a bad idea at some weddings.

"Contrary to myth,"

I would like to see a study of the Arafat Funeral as a case example.

Great video of the pallbearers (sic) shooting into the air, and 12 +/- seconds later seeing people in the background dropping. Repeating steps 1&2 for most of an hour.

Last year saw a video of a young Kurdish groom being accidentally shot in the head at a weeding. His new father-in-law got a little crazy and careless with the Ak-47, and blew the top of the kids head off. I do alot of shooting, but don't get the wedding and shooting guns thing.

I misread the dateline and thought this took place in Texas.

Did the couple bang on their wedding nite?

More likely it was a fizzle, not a bang.

Nothing more embarassing than an unintentional discharge on your wedding night.

So, a shotgun wedding for real. And I’d always thought it was just a figure of speech.

Wedding? I’m surprised they just didn’t blame this on the U.S. military.

Bush's fault

The AP report will prove that Israel was behind this, and they will have photoshop to prove it.

Much more effective at ridding oneself of those pesky “in-laws”.

Or instantly becoming the heir to his father's estate. He killed his dad and two aunts.

I wonder if this was one of those “Here, hold muh Raki” moments.

The grief-stricken groom is now sole heir to his father’s vast goat herd.
