  1. According to Wikipedia when the Army requested a .50 caliber machine gun, Browning said “give me the round, I’ll make the gun.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.50_BMG
  2. I’d want to shoot a 25 yard target, prohibitively expensive.
  3. Happens to me too, when I fall asleep.
  4. A woman, cranky because her husband was late coming home again, decided to leave a note, saying, “I’ve had enough and have left you. Don’t bother coming after me.” Then she hide under the bed to see his reaction. After a short while, the husband comes home and she could hear him in the kitchen before he comes into the bedroom. She could see him walk towards the dresser and pick up the note. After a few minutes, he wrote something on it before picking up the phone and calling someone. “She’s finally gone…yeah I know, about bloody time, I’m coming to see you, put on that sexy French nightie. I love you…can’t wait to see you…we’ll do all the naughty things you like. “He hung up, grabbed his keys and left. She heard the car drive off as she came out from under the bed. Seething with rage and with tears in her eyes she grabbed the note to see what he wrote… “I can see your feet. We’re outta bread: be back in five minutes.
  5. I thought this should get posted somewhere…. Roberto Clemente aka "El Howitzer" leads the modern era in outfield assists and is the standard against which all other outfield arms are measured. A hall-of-famer, Clemente won 12 consecutive Gold Gloves, finished his storied career with a staggering 266 assists, including a high of 27 in 1961 when he played in just 145 games and had an otherworldly 30.2 assists per 162 games. That’s the most assists in a single season for nearly a century: Chuck Klein had 29 in 1930 but was abetted by a 270-foot right field line and a super-tall fence higher than the Green Monster. Clemente had a powerful, accurate arm and played right field with rare grace, poise and élan. Clemente should have had more assists because he averaged 14 per 162 games his last three seasons, before dying prematurely on an overloaded plane while trying to aid Nicaraguan earthquake victims. Many baseball players are said to have done heroic things on the field, but Clemente was a hero in real life. And please keep in mind that, as with other players on this list, El Howitzer had limited opportunities because many runners chose not to test his arm. You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit into the wind, and you don’t run on the great Roberto Clemente, if you know what’s good for you! As the immortal Vin Scully once observed: "Clemente could field the ball in New York and throw out a guy in Pennsylvania."
  6. Don’t need so many napkins if you use a spoon.
  7. What’s in a name? Ceres is bigger, orbits the sun between Mars and Jupiter, is in the general loosely defined plane along with the other planets, but it too is a dwarf planet. Pluto is quite a bit out of that planetary plane.
  8. Not everybody because I am one of those people.
  9. Adopted when I was eight or nine, I recall using both terms and father more than dad.
  10. Legally yes, however in common language one can say step-parent and the only person to complain would be a pedantic SOB.
