Hi guys.
I have been reading the great stuff on here for a week or two. Thought I would say hi and tell you my funny from last night.
My son is almost 13 and it is time to teach him about weapon safety and shooting a .22 rifle etc. We dropped my daughter off for Karate class and went to Wally world for misc. stuff. Found some .22 lr hollow pt ammo and decided to grab a few boxes. NP yet.
Go back to karate to pick up said daughter. Apparently her stripe testing is going to take longer cause she is now sparring. No big deal.
12 yr old boys don't like to wait for sisters. Especially not in the car at 8:00 at night while starving. So we started talking about the ammo. I told him they were hollow pt. Being a Halo (Xbox) Warrior, he was surprised that .22 had hollow pt. Wanted to look. WEll, I thought, no harm in that.
HA.
As he was looking at the tips, I told him to look at me cause I wanted him to promise me that he would NOT shoot with his friends out in the field or whatever without adult supervision.
As he fidgeted and started to look at me, I heard the awesome rattle of the whole box of 50 scatter down the side of the Heated Electric Leather Seat in between the seat and the console.
DOugh![Stooge]
So, we spent the next HOUR (while waiting for said Karate testing) dissasembling the plastic bolt covers, air-bag connectors, and electric seat controls to collect all 50 rounds.
It was really fun. Not. My imagination kicked in pretty well when I realized that there were rounds in the rails and tucked into the hinge area where they could easily get smashed if someone adjusted the seat. Just what I needed in a 1 yr old Tahoe. Great. [Bang]
Well, after an hour we dug out the last one, I told my son I couldn't think of any possible worse places for him to spill those. My daughter came out with her new blue stripe and we didn't talk about that any more.[Bang]
PS, the stupid computer alert says "Please service airbag"
So....... Fire off those stories boys. I'm sure not the only one with those or the the time when a round cooked off while your buddy was pee'ing on the campfire to put it out.[ROFL3]
