Wind: 0 mph
Where did you think the bullets went, dummy?
Some people must think that firing guns in the air is the same as firing blanks — the bullets don’t matter. Well, in some cases they do. If the conditions are right. And you are in line for some serious smiting!
In Johnson City, Tennessee, a man was critically injured at a KKK initiation when a bullet that was fired into the air returned, passing through his skull. And don’t forget high school physics, boys and girls: the bullet was going at the same velocity on it’s way back down as it was on the way up (nudge, nudge, you know who you are). Do you think the shooter thought about that? Hmmmmm…..he looks like a real bright one.

God, this reminds me of my Lewis Black CD. He tells a story of a good ol’ boy from Arkansas (, Arkansas, how I love my Arkansas! Love my ma, love my pa,…)
Anyway, this smart feller couldn’t start his truck so after discovering that he needed to replace an electrical fuse he further discovered that he could accomplish the task using a .22 bullet. Hilarity did, in fact, ensue. The bullet discharged and hit him in one of his testicles, causing him to crash the truck.
PS - Didn’t you mean “smiting”?
PPS - Since when did I become such a spelling and grammar snob? It’s not like I’m that great at it myself…
Anyhoo…

Dang, you’re right again. I must have been asleep at my keyboard! (hmm, maybe it has something to do with the fact that I worked until after 4:00am last night….)

Darwin rears his glorious head again. It’s just too bad that the bullet didn’t hit the guy that actually shot it, but then, I’m not going to be that picky when it comes to racist rednecks. At least this way we get rid of two Klansmen. Yeee-haw!
