Utah Bob #35998 Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 After careful consideration it is my opinion that somebody needs to go into the Pentagon with a cattle prod and adjust some things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking cattle prod might be a bit thin...perhaps....hickory? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A cattle prod to the groinocological area should get their attention.Then the hickory can be used as an education tool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
