Some monks were having financial troubles, so they set up a flower shop
in town. They did so well that the flower shop across the street
started having their own problems. Despite much pleading, the monks
refused to close shop. Eventually, the other flower shop hired Hugh
O'Malley, the roughest, toughest punk in town. He went to the monks'
shop and beat them soundly. Admitting defeat, they packed up and
returned to the monastery, thus proving...
Only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

Most accidental shootings in the home are the result of the weapon being
left out loaded and ready to use.

You'd think so, of course some also argue that taking the safety off
takes time as well, and that time could be the difference between life
and death.
But no, the safety locks aren't quite like a safety cap on medication
containers.

Until then, I'll just keep ignoring you.

Watch out for dihydrogen monoxide while you're at it. That crap can kill
you.
I've got an acquaintance whose adopted daughter *died* from that shit.
Seriously (I'm not making this up). We should really stop putting that
poison into our bodies.

It is in Utah, at least that's what all my friends on Germany say -
they're coming out in March and bringing their wives/girlfriends for an
extra week just so they can ski. :-)

Over here, it's a right, not a privilege, so once you're licensed it
seems to be for life.
(There's a modicum of sarcasm there - but I don't know that you need to
renew out here in Utah).

No of course, but having a safety lock and a child lock; hey why not just
lock it away in a gun cabinet :-P
