Ah. The same people that said he was a hero. Gotcha.

I just read the wiki plot.
Who came up with the idea that Jesse James was a gunfighter? He was a murdering back-shooting bank robber, but I never heard anything about him being a gunfighter.

I don't know why you're laughing Dave. That was a serious question.
They had M16s in Vietnam, but M16s are select fire rifles.
AR15s, on the other hand, are semi-automatic only.
I was unaware they had AR15s in Vietnam.

I have read, in various places, of people having their own personal firearm in Vietnam. Generally something a family member mailed to them.
If your tour was over and you were coming home, could you bring it with you?
I had a dream just a bit ago. In the dream I was returning from Vietnam and they were checking my baggage and they found a 38 Combat Masterpiece, a 22/32 Kit Gun, a Single Six, a Mark 1 bull barrel, and a 1911 A1.
The person inspecting - for some reason in my dream it was a woman - told me that I should not have been greedy. Bringing one souvenir home would have been allowable but five was a no no. I had to choose which one I wanted, and the others would be confiscated.
I got up on my high horse and informed her that they were all personally owned weapons that I had taken with me and I was bringing them back. I had the purchase paperwork and if anything was confiscated there would be legal ramifications.
I'm sure that would have gone over real well in real life, but you can do all kinds of stuff in dreams.
Also, in the dream, I was pretty much running a bluff because while the 38 and the 22s were mine, the 45 was a war souvenir that I had taken off a dead officer
.
But ignoring the many that I had there, let's imagine that I had a 4-inch Combat Magnum. My personal 357 that was mailed to me by my father along with 500 rounds of ammunition. He chose 357 under the theory that if I used up all the 357 ammo, at least the army has got 38 ammo.
So I have a 4-inch Model 19 and I'm trying to bring it home. Would I have been allowed, or would it have been better to just give it to one of my buddies who had some time left on his tour?

I just saw this stupid video. Stupid stupid stupid. Obviously AI.
They're up north somewhere. So(SNOW, otto you moron)on the ground, snow on the bushes, snow on the roofs of the buildings.
Guy is watering something down with a water hose. Old woman comes walking by with a dog and he turns around and sprays them both with his water hose.
The video got even stupider from there. But it just got me to wondering.
If you're up north where it's really really cold, and someone soaks you with water, you could freeze to death. And if that doesn't happen you could end up in the hospital with severe pneumonia.
Could you have the guy that soaks you down arrested for assault with a deadly weapon?
Down here in the south, in the summer, if somebody sprayed me with a hose as I was walking down the street I'd call the cops. Probably couldn't get them for ADW but I'd still call the cops. It just seems like up north in the cold that could be a bad thing.

The whole idea of eating something that came out of an animal's mouth is just disgusting.
Give me a plate of scrambled eggs.

I was reading about that Seattle redheads. I noticed it says the Bell sisters, and I thought who the heck are they. So I looked them up.
They're these two young girls - maybe four or five years between them. And they play the two youngest daughters. There are five daughters in this movie.
The oldest girl is telling about a love scene in the movie. Where she is supposed to kiss her love interest.
She said she had never kissed a boy before. Plus, this actor was married, and his wife was on set. She was going to be watching.
She said that she was so nervous about that and did so badly that they just cut the whole scene out of the movie.

I was thinking - I have that. That I went and checked my movie inventory list.
Oh well. It had redheads in the title.

How much does a roof cost?
Nothing, it's on the house.
One of the Louis L'Amour books, the hero is eating at a restaurant in a little cowtown, and when he got through he asked the guy that owned the place - how much I owe you?
The owner tells him "it's a tin roof".
What??
"It's on the house."

This claims to be British humor, but it's taking place on a flight to Brisbane, so I think it should count.

If you found a post on a forum and he was asking about "carbine gas", would you know what he was talking about?
I had to look it up. Two sentences into the first hit and I realized it had something to do with AR-15s, but he just threw the term out there like "everybody in the world knows what carbine gas is!!"

The stuff you will do when you're a kid.
I was visiting my daughter's family in Puerto Rico. We were wandering around in this park, and my son-in-law beds down and picks up this big seed pod off the ground next to a tree. Cracks in open and shakes a couple of seeds - they're as big as almonds - out in his hand and held one out to me. "Here, try this."
I looked at him suspiciously and he tossed one of them in his mouth and chewed it up. Held the other one out to me again and said, "try this, but hold your breath".
So I followed instructions and chewed it up and it wasn't bad. It wasn't Cadbury chocolate but it wasn't bad. Then he picks up another one and cracked it open and handed me the seed and said, "smell it".
It smelled like fresh puke.
I believe he told me it was a lotus tree. But he said that you had to hold your breath before eating one or you would never get it in your mouth.
As I said, it wasn't bad. But I have absolutely no desire to try another one. He said him and his friends used to eat them all the time when they were kids.
This is a weed that grows all over the place down here.
Sheep sorrel. When I was a kid we called it Indian cane. And we would pluck it and chew it, and enjoy it immensely. You didn't eat it. You just chewed it and swallowed the juice and spit the remnants out.
I find it growing in my yard occasionally. I carefully dig it up - hopefully before it goes into bloom and them damn red seeds go everywhere - and put it in the trash can. Ain't no way I would chew on that now.
