Taking the dog , gun, and cell phone for a walk!

“Maybe take along a politician and an atheist...so we can discuss all of the hot topics around the campfire! ;)”

“You forgot your ATV.”

“Can you take an ATV for a walk?”

“If you push it you can.”

“Sure...guess stick a wedge on the gas pedal, and lead the ATV by it's handle.”

“Ooops....guess = just”

“If you bring along a gun, you can go out hunting for dinner for the guests. Put your 'piece' on fully automatic and try hunting down a few spotted owls. If your cook them over a campfire made with old growth redwood it kind of tastes like roasted California condor.

Now that should get the conversation flowing!”

“If you are going for a walk in Chicago, you forgot your bullet proof vest, and first aid kit.”

“Sorry. I won't be able to make this trip.”

“LOL!”

“When was the last time you were in Chicago?

It ain't like that anymore. Al Capone is dead and there was nothing in his safe.”

“Stumprider, I went to Chicago only once this year. The couple we had dinner with in Chicago lived in the neighborhood that had an uncaptured serial rapist going around raping women. At dinner, when my wife let it slip that I helped train prosecutors on how to shoot handguns, the couple spent the next hour asking me questions about what was the best handgun to buy, where to practice, etc.

Remember, Chicago has led the nation every year for the last ten years in the number of homicides per 100,000 people. In some neighborhoods, you can hear gunfire almost every night.”

“To-day is Armistice Day, or Veterans' Day as you call it down there. I'll be asking for a minute of silence in my class at 11.0.

Also, yesterday was the 28th anniversary of the sinking of the Edmund Fitzgerald.”

“That explains why I heard the song "Edmund Fitzgerald" on the radio yeasterday. I haven't heard it in about 10 years or so, it's not a well known event down in Florida.”

“Where are the photos by Buck to accompany this thread??!”

“I was looking for Micah to chime in anytime now.”

“....don't forget the bong!”

“lnt= ld,g&cph”

Really, prosecutor? I thought that it was DC...”

“Gary Indiana cannot be to far behind.”

“That's what I get for trusting a newspaper article from the Chicago Tribune last year. The article only listed cities with the largest populations. After checking a few on-line sources, the rankings would be:

Gary Indiana 65 per 100,000
Washington, D.C. 45 per 100,000
Detroit 42 per 100,000
Baltimore 38 per 100,000
Memphis 24 per 100,000
Chicago 22 per 100,000

I stand corrected.”

“way to go hoosier state!

gary has nearly three times the homicide rate as shycago way
to
go”

“We hoo! Wait a minute...I live right next to Gary. SNAP!”

“I understand that 2 out of three murders in Phoenix are never solved.”

“The dog jumped up on me; I fell over and shot myself and had to call for SAR.”

“I received my cell phone bill in the mail and had my dog bring me a gun to shoot myself?”

“And the dog's name was LASSIE.”

“thanks. now i have "Gary, Indiana" from the Music Man stuck in my head.

when i was in Chicago last year, the friendly young man who tried to scam me out of my camera ("i'll take a picture for you") offered me some very sage advice about walking in the city. he told me to be careful, that in some areas they would "shoot the #&%!$ out" of me. i listened.”

“Indiana wants me...lord I can't go back there...”
