Thanks, siglite. I needed a laugh just now. Glad I wasn't drinking a soda.
Dumb stuff we do.

I guess this isn't really stupidity on anyone's part, but a funny story none the less.
I took my girlfriend shooting for the first time a few months ago. When she began, she shot very slow and deliberate with the recoil and all. After a while she got a bit more confident and started cranking them off pretty quickly.
While she's shooting away, I'm loading a few magazines in the lane next to her near the wall. I look over, notice that the muzzle is starting to rise a bit too high. Before I could say anything, she manages to shoot the ceiling and somehow the bullet (or bullet fragment) managed to find its way directly back to my forehead.
After getting plunked in the noggin, I let out a manly holler (she claimed it was a girly yelp, but I'm the one tellin' the story
) She thought I was freaking out because I caught a bit of brass flying my way. The pretty little thing actually stopped shooting, just long enough to call me a pansy and continued on. I'm guessing she realized it wasn't brass once the blood appeared on my forehead.
Ever since then she has loved to tell people that shooting me was intentional and she had been practicing that for weeks.

Kids are smart, it is the adults you gotta watch *wink*
Private setting with one skeet field, and handgun range and one very very special range being for kids to shoot BB Guns and .22 rifles.
This range was set up with kids, and their parents, elderly and physically limited to use.
Kids had some new folks that were going to come out, single moms and other kids.
These kids from about age 3 on up to about age 16, had worked really really hard getting everything cleaned up and just so so.
Grass cut, weeds trimmed, rocks painted, and inside the little club house was just spotless!
It was hot! A really hot southern summer day and they had started early before the sun and humidity got really hot.
Some had cooled off, and dozed off to take naps inside.
Adults had been shooting skeet,and all them hulls on the ground.
Dumb adults...
Some stuck $1 bills, and some were even dumb enough to stick a $5 or $10 into a empty hull , that somehow fell onto the ground.
One "dummie" commented how hulls would bring 3 cents each.
Adults finish and enter the clubhouse and "don't mess up anything, it is clean in here, go out to the porch under the fan..." said the kids.
"Tell you what, police the hulls and I will pay 3 cents for each one" - 'dummy' said.
Trust me, kids can clear a skeet field like locust.
"I found a $1 in this one..."
"Oh...oh I found a $10 bill in one...
These kids contributed all the money they found in them hulls, and the 3 cents toward stuff for their needs and these invited folks coming out.
One little 3 year old girl, cute as a button, had learned to check sofa and chairs for change that fell out of pockets.
So adults had paid the kids, and kids were wanting boxes of Corn dogs and other stuff for their guests and we look over and that 3 year old little lady was checking for money - and finding money in all them places that had been checked before we come in.
She comes over and puts her money with the other money, and she wanted lemonade , she liked lemonade, so "her" money bought lemonade for the guests.
Kids are smart...
Adults are sure dumb about money getting lost in the oddest places...
