We provide this only to be, um, Fair and Balanced.® Yep, that's it! [The Armorer's Official Position® is in the brackets.] #10. You can trade an old 44 for a new 22. [This is utterly false. The Armorer never lets go of a weapon once it enters the books. That's why he has a *Collectors* license, not a *Dealer* license. I gather, not disperse.] #9. You can keep one gun at home and have another for when you're on the road. [Only two? Pikers.] #8.

It was on the occasion of Ernie's eightieth birthday and in honor of the occasion he married a twenty year old girl. And he rang me up the very next day and he said to me "Soph, Soph, I have just married myself a twenty year old girl, what do you think of that". And I said to him "Ernie when I am eighty years old I shall marry myself a twenty year old boy, and let me tell you something Ernie twenty goes into eighty a hell of a lot more than eighty goes into twenty." On #9 - I must concur with John's comment. If the Rotation ever gets down to two, please call an ambulance, I have lapsed into a coma. #7, #8 apply to men as well as women. If #6 is a problem for some it simply displays a shocking lack of imagination. #5 - Since when are men concerned about closet space? None of mine are. #4 - If that even SLOWS YOU DOWN, please do not apply for a position in the Rotation. #3 - Oh right, men aren't vain.......comb-over anyone? #2 - LOL, trust me, I'll be asleep first. #1 - Go over to AFSis' place......she had the best answer. ]]> http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/11/ten_reasons_men.html#comment-66200 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/11/ten_reasons_men.html#comment-66200 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 17:54:33 -0600 durn echo.

You can make them here, and you can buy them here, but you have to agree to take them out of the state within 24 hours and you're not allowed to use fireworks in-state unless you have a pirotechnics license. But we can buy, own AND use silencers! http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/11/ten_reasons_men.html#comment-66183 http://www.thedonovan.com/archives/2007/11/ten_reasons_men.html#comment-66183 Sun, 04 Nov 2007 14:17:52 -0600 HL, that's kinda like fireworks in Ohio.
