    Sounds familiar.  I'm boogered up so much that there's a very cherished spot on my left wrist the size of a dime that I look at every day.

     

    It's the only place on my entire body body doesn't hurt

    Our high school ROTC had fully functional M-1 rifles, M-1 carbines, 1911A1 pistols, a BAR, a 1919 lmg, some shotguns, and some .22 target rifles and pistols and a mortar. Seniors could, if their grades met the line, check out a rifle or carbine and a box of ammo on Friday evening and come in early the following Monday to clean it under the watchful eye of SSgt Sato.

     

    WE had pistol and rifle teams using the .222s and the m-1 rifle and .45 pistols, ran exercises up Green Canyon using blanks rifles in most of the combat arms, were taught bayonet drills, and had a state-wide and well known precision drill team carrying M-1n rifles and 1911 pistols and very sharp Army Officer's sabers. 

     

    The worst injuries were a few M-1 thumbs, and some bruising while learning the Queen Anne Salute and a few other drills.

     

    There were some well known people graduated from that school (Merlin Olsen being one of then) and only two that I know of who were ever in trouble with the law...one for embezzlement and one for stealing and wrecking his boss's truck. 

     

    About 15% of the class are veterans and at least two retired with stars on their collars

    Ain't no accounting for taste or the lack thereof.

    I only have two choices in a decent driving distance, three if you count Costco, and both of them play the worst music you can imagine because "the corporation" dictates it.

    Years ago an old lady walked into a bookstore that I was managing and asked how I was doing.  I told her I was pretty good.  She put a hand on her hip, cocked her head to one side and told me "Mister, you might be good but you dang sure aren't pretty."  I would have been offended but I was just getting started on a two day laughing fit.

    If the animal likes it, you ain't doing it wrong.

    And if they don't like it they will likely let you know....sometimes in a very unforgetable way.
