Here is a hunting quote for you Coz. I've always found this one interesting though I haven't done any hunting since I was a young lad.

Only scattered pockets of hunting man survive. Yet the hunting way of life has been the most successful and persistent avocation of man. It has dominated human evolution, and it enabled man to colonize the earth. Agriculture, on the other hand, has influenced less than 1% of human history.
-- Robert Leo Smith, Biology and Field Ecology

Hi...


#1 (paraphrasing) First, kill all the lawyers...!!

#2 The day Japan signed the surrender documants at the end of World War II...all allied ships in the Pacific were told to cease fire. One ship's Captain asked Admiral Nimitz (I think) what they should do if not all of the Japanese got the word, and persisted in sending more kamakazi planes to attack their ships.

The Admiral replied..."shoot them down, but do it in a friendly manner"...!!

Life is like a big crap sandwich...the less bread you have...the more crap you have to eat.

Life is like a roll of toilet paper...the closer you get to the end...the faster it goes.

Couldn't tell you where either of these originated from. Funny just the same!

Wine is just fermented fruit digested by yeast. Vodka is fermented fruit, digested by yeast, with...guess what? More water removed.

I say it counts.

And admire lofty mountains;
And raging torrents;
And scout the vastness of the stars;
And forget themselves in doing so.

To disarm the people...[is] the best and most effective way to enslave them..." - George Mason, Virginia Ratification Convention, June 14, 1788

False is the idea that sacrifices a thousand real advantages for one imaginary or trifling inconvenience; that would take fire from men because it burns and water because one may drown in it; that has no remedy for evils, except destruction. The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes. - Cesare Beccaria, father of modern criminology, 1764

The only cure for Birth,
