THE LAW:
'The purpose of fighting is to win. There is no possible victory indefense.
The sword is more important than the shield and skill is more important than either.
The final weapon is the brain. All else is supplemental.'
- John Steinbeck

1. Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he's too old to fight, he'll just kill you.

2. If you find yourself in a fair fight, your tactics suck.

3. I carry a gun, 'cause a cop is too heavy.

4. America is not at war. The U.S. Military is at war. America is at the mall.

5. When seconds count, the cops are just minutes away.

6. This is a bit dated, but... A reporter did a human interest piece on the Texas Rangers. The reporter recognized the Colt Model 1911 the Ranger was carrying and asked him 'Why do you carry a .45?'. The Ranger responded with, 'Because they don't make a .46.'

7. An armed man will kill an unarmed man with monotonous regularity.

8. The old sheriff was attending an awards dinner when a lady commented on his wearing his sidearm. 'Sheriff, I see you have your pistol. Are you expecting trouble?' 'No Ma'am. If I were expecting trouble, I would have brought my rifle.'

9. Beware the man who only has one gun. He probably knows how to use it!

10. Gun control, is being able to hit your target.

Short Love Story

A man and a woman who had never met before, but were both married

to other people, found themselves assigned to the same sleeping

room on a Trans-continental train.



Though initially embarrassed and uneasy over sharing a room, they

were both very tired and fell asleep quickly...



He in the upper bunk and she in the lower.



At 1:00 AM, the man leaned down and gently woke the woman saying,

Ma'am, I'm sorry to bother you, but would you be willing to reach

into the closet to get me a second blanket? I'm awfully cold.'



I have a better idea,' she replied . 'Just for tonight, let's

pretend that we're married.'



Wow! That's a great idea!' he exclaimed.



Good,' she replied. 'Get your own f&*kin' blanket.'



After a moment of silence, he farted.



The End
