Sorry for your loss. In a tragic twist, I lost my collection in an ice fishing mishap.

LOL. Arschloch. I tell you guys, I am done with Englisch. I will just make German in the future.
Pardon, Ma’am - but you got caught up in an old FR joke - lost all my guns in a boating accident...
Like many of us on here, I could arm an army company.
Uh..., er,...uh, except for that boating accident...
Kannugh.
8th lake? Done that.
Canoe and you are kidding.
“I tell you, I own no guns.”
I resemble that too. Your screen name though reminds me of an incident this morning...I saw a truck go by with a tank (maybe early WWII vintage go by and I told my wife, ‘I want that!’
Of course - perhaps you have come across the joke before?
I never could spell in English, and the Nuns beat me for my failure.
LOL - it is not my screen name. My name is Patton. When I was young, in Germany, I told everyone my name was Patrick. That was after the nuns beat me, and made me sit in the corner wearing a dunce hat, when I insisted my name was Patton.
Mein Hut, er hat drie ecke...
Sorry for your loss. In a tragic twist, I lost my collection in an ice fishing mishap.
Ice fisching can be brutal.
Back when we lived in MI, an ice floe broke loose, carrying away a bunch of fischermen - and not a few trucks.
Can you imagine how expensive it is to get your truck off an ice flow?
Anyway, after the trucks were rescued - at least those that were insured - the coast guard showed up in a hovercraft, to rescue the fischermenn. Twenty guys on the ice, only ten could fit in the boat.
A general riot broke out.
Over who had to go first.
Michigan isn’t alone, North Carolina is similar. You need a permit (issued by your local county sheriff’s department at their discretion) to *receive* a handgun, but not to actually possess one. In theory, once you get the gun, the permit is thrown away. Only one jurisdiction in the state is legally allowed to force handgun registration, and that’s here in Durham County; they were grandfathered in when the current law was passed circa 1930.

I have been on this site for quite some time now and I have never known such poor boatmen as are Freepers.
Note that I am any better. Last year I lost all my guns when my boat capsized. I then went back to look for them the next week and lost all my ammo.
Oh the hugh manatee.
Who started that boat joke, anyway? It was back around 2001, the first time I came across it.
I immediately swiped it, of course.
Plagerism is the sicerest form of flattery. Well, next to money. Or gold...
Well, just dang - u got me - Hah! The only thing I lost on a boat was my cookies....
Lost my cookies on a boat from Japan to Korea, once. Funny, Dad gave me a bowl of rice and a raw egg. Never been seasick since.
I will never get to try out your Dad’s remedy as I would rather poke my eyes out than be on any vessel where I could not easily swim to shore if I had to. Pretty much limits me to small lakes and narrow rivers.
I need a handgun purchase-permit in North Carolina, but there’s no registration. Which reminds me that I need to go way over east to the Sheriff’s office to get another permit! They’re only $5 each, and if I’d known they were good for five years, I would have bought four with my $20 bill the last time I was there.
What, are you following me around? Just reading one of SC threads about greek tragedies, and there you were.
We keep two boats - one on the Patomac, and one in the driveway. Wife tells me I better fix that one, or she will sell it.
