steve1 5 #1 January 5, 2012 I've got friend who recently moved to Arizona. His name is Bruce. In high school noone messed with Bruce because he was a tough character. Forty years ago Bruce was a Green Beret, weapons specialist, on an A-team. Time may have ridden us all a little soft. At any rate, Bruce has guns and knows how to use them. Bruce and his wife stayed up late one night, watching TV. They watched a documentary of a woman who saved her life when intruders broke into her home. She had shot and killed one of the intruders, and scared the others off. Bruce and his wife were quite moved by this story. Bruce's wife asked him where their pistol was. Bruce said it was out in his pickup. The wife said she would feel safer if he could bring it back in the house. Bruce promised to do this some time in the future. Then they went to bed.... Late that night, Bruce and his wife could hear voices coming from somewhere in their house. They were Mexican voices. Oh shit....The pistol is out in the truck. Bruce whispered to his wife, "Where's my shotgun?" The wife answered, "It's in the closet!" Bruce's wife cowered in fear, beside the bed.... Bruce grabbed the shotgun, but couldn't find any shells for it. Without hesitation Bruce charged out into his living room, buck naked. He pretended to rack a round into the empty gun, and did his best Clint Eastwood pose. There were no Mexicans to be seen. Then he heard this Mexican voice, coming from his TV set. A 60's cowboy show was on. With a deflated look, Bruce and his wife went back to bed. So, I guess the moral of this story is, if you have intruders in your house, have a gun handy, and make sure it is loaded......or.....turn the damn TV off when you go to bed.....or.....Montanans would be easy pickens for a burglar.

Life through good thoughts, good words, and good deeds is necessary to ensure happiness and to keep chaos at bay. The only thing that falls from the sky is birdshit and fools!

steve1 5 #4 January 5, 2012 The moral, that Montanians may be easy pickens, may fit. Years earlier my family and I went to visit my brother in Palm Springs. He lived in the high rent district, next to a golf course. I don't mean to sound racist but there were more Mexicans in that neighborhood than you can imagine. They did lawn work and others worked on the golf course. All seemed nice enough. Many took a special interest in my daughters when they were swimming in the pool.In Montana we don't lock our doors, and stupidly, one of us left the front door unlocked. That evening, while we were in the backyard hot tub, someone came in and stole all our watches, purses, cameras, and anything else handy. I had a hard time raising enough cash to jump at Perris that week....I guess you live and learn. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
