Ha!

That should be "negligently discharged," by the way.

In order to mimic how the media writes, I had to use "accidentally."

The day we see them aware and honest enough to say "negligently" will be a day for celebration.

You got me. The story was plausible and the writing style was spot-on. Good one.

WOW! Good one! I actually whole-heartedly believed it when I saw it. LOL

I didn't buy it, but oh! if only it WERE true! Then maybe we coud get him to shut up and go away.

Armatus said...

David,

I realized that right after I left that comment.

Cheers.

Armatus said...

In that same vein, they probably wouldn't have used the word "weapon." Not to be nit-picky or criticize your writing, mind you. Just saying. Lousy inept scum, the authorized journos.
