Sudden Jihad Syndrome?

[DustyMoment]

Why are the police using live hand grenades to make traffic stops on I-5?

Ping for your list.

Hmm...wow...one hand grenade? He could’ve at least thought to bring about 20.

[RandallFlagg]

You’ve been hanging around Laz too much..

LOL!!

[null and void]

Amish?

[Qout]

Thought he could blow up an entire building with a single hand grenade?

Not guilty by reason of insanity.

[Tenacious 1]

Where does one actually get a live hand granade? I haven’t seen them at the Bass Pro Shop.

[Tenacious 1]

...or hand grenade.

[Pontiac]

Amish?

Nope; Quaker

[SatinDoll]

Gee, can you land a lot of bass using a hand grenade?

[an amused spectator]

You gonna fish, or you gonna talk? ;-)

[caseinpoint]

Cause it really discourages smartaleck comments from the drivers? I know I would be pretty respectful of a live grenade.

Cross that one off the list of excuses to be used when pulled over for speeding.

I thought only the native Americans could fish like that?

So, the newby conservation officer heard that one of the old-time locals liked to go "fishing" with explosives.

The CO hung around the docks till he saw the old-timer show up. "Mind if I tag along on your 'fishing' trip, sir?", he asked the old-timer.

"Not at all", came the reply.

After a time, they arrived at the designated spot out in the lake. The old-timer threw an anchor over the side, and then reached under his seat for a wooden box. Opening the box, he extracted a stick of dynamite, lit it,and then threw it over the side. A muffled "boom" shook the boat, and presently a number of dead fish floated to the surface.

The conservative officer's jaw dropped open. "Sir, do you realize that this is TOTALLY illegal? I'm a conservation officer, and I'm going to have to place you under arrest!"

The old-timer looked over the newby, leaned over and reaching into his wooden box, he extracted another stick of dynamite.

He lit it and handed to the conservation officer.

"So, are you gonna talk, or are you gonna fish?"

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve though about the same thing. No really...I can’t tell you!
