Oh for crying out loud.

When I was young, we all worried about nuclear blasts.

I’d tell my high school girlfriend in the cab of the pickup,

“Come on! Let’s do it! A nuclear bomb might go off tomorrow!”

And then there would be a flash of light from her father’s flashlight and I thought I was dead.

Up close, a shotgun can be as scary as an a-bomb.

And just as deadly.

My step-dad always told me that if he was gonna die, he would prefer that he be shot in the back by a jealous husband.

When we’d have the drills in school, us guys would pick out the girl we’d want to give comfort to if it turned out to be real. Sadly the ugly ones would have had to go uncomforted.

From my own experience, a .22 can be scary as a 12 gage up close. ;-(

“Come on! Let’s do it! A nuclear bomb might go off tomorrow!”

Note to all: Check for spikes in HI's maternity wards later this year - around October should do.
