Annoyance while hunting
A perfectly clean shot, and this guy nearly ruined it by crouching on the other side of the deer. Finally he moved to the front of it and gave me a safe shot.
He was quite obnoxious after he regained consciousness, even though I took out my canteen and offered to help clean the mess off his face.

Amusing recollection
I just had a recollection-- you've got to understand that after each day of trial, the clerk prepares, and the judge edits, a "Minute Entry." It's not a transcript, just a series of notes about motions made and rulings given.
Some months ago, at the courthouse, a prosecutor told me "I never knew Judge ____ had a sense of humor, but now I know he does." I asked how he knew.
"I was trying a case in front of him and, during a recess, went to the men's room. As I was going in, I saw a fellow coming out, and noticed a $5 bill on the floor behind him. I pointed that out, he said thanks and picked it up ... and then I saw he had a juror's badge on. He was one of my jurors.
I went in and told the judge I'd had contact with a juror, and he and the defense attorney agreed there was no problem.
A fews later I get the minute entry. It read 'Mr. ____ admits to the Court that he proferred $5 to a juror in the men's room.'
So some day I may be up for an appointment to the bench, and get asked just what was going on."

I didn't need this...
At a stage in healing when laughing still hurts some, I didn't need to read these email exchanges.

Amusing hoax and gullible media
Here's the story of "The Arm the Homeless Coalition"
It sent out press releases with pics of a guy in a Santa suit with a sign reading "100 percent of contributions will be used to provide desperately needed protection for our country’s homeless." The Columbus Dispatch editorialized against the group, the story was picked up by AP, Rush Limbaugh, and others, newspapers buzzed with angry letters to the editor.
And as you might guess, it was a hoax. Apparently, the idea has been tried elsewhere with similar results.

Funny video
One of those aw, &&^! moments with a .50 Browning.
Blogging will be light for a few days as I'm on vacation...
Just a reflection on the Browning Ma-Deuce. Here's a gun designed nearly 90 years ago, and still in use. Of course so is his 1911 design. And most of his others. American troops still use firearms he designed in the time of their great-grandfathers, or great-great grandfathers.

An old joke
Just remembered something I circulated when I worked at Interior, representing Fish & Wildlife Service, which had a captive breeding project for condors. It got all the way up to Secretary Hodel, whom I'm told almost fell out of his chair laughing. It was a handwritten note, with the pen held clenched in my fist to make it look "crackpot." It read:
PLEASE PLEASE PEASE HELP ME.
I AM BEING HELD IN A GOVERNMENT LABORATORY, AND FORCED TO PERFORM SEX ACTS WHILE GOVERNMENT SCIENTISTS MAKE NOTES AND TAKE PICTURES.
PLEASE DO NOT THINK THIS IS A CRANK LETTER
A CALIFORNA CONDOR

Bit of Friday night levity
First, a YouTube animation of Calvin and Hobbes. The morning comics will never be the same.
Second, proof that the Aussies share the British sense of humor. A story about a fellow caught in a romantic interlude with a sheep. Note how they carefully blanked out the face of the victim, and her mate, to maintain their anominity.

Takes the record for clueless story
It really does. We're told two men were arrested for illegally, possessing a "cop killer" gun (that 5.7 mm), then that Schumer is *trying* to have it outlawed, and finally "Between 1994 and 2003, 425 police officers were killed nationwide with a "cop killer" gun."
By gosh, we oughta find that gun and throw it in the ocean!
