It ain't my ears. I do, however, have a rather large and misshapen nose.......

LOL. Mines just crooked cause I have the same winning personality in person that I do online.

I was worried about where this one was going for minute. Lol.

Not to worry. Rather than mention THAT, he'd just throw it over his shoulder and stomp out in a huff.

 

[cmshoot]

That must be my problem as well. 7 broken noses in nearly 45 years......

2 don't count though. One I fell off some furniture as a kid and the other I was hungover and dehydrated, passed out on a concrete floor. Ouch.....

As much fun as this has become, I'm overseas in a beautiful city and am going for a nice long run for a while.

Y'all play nice.

OOh! Enjoy. Last time I was out of country was Russia. Be damned if I'd have even logged in from "elsewhere". LOL. Auf Wiedersehen, Das vidanya, Zei Jen, etc, etc...

Ahhh, Russia. Spent an interesting training exchange with OMON in Moscow. VERY interesting......

Interesting...good word. lol.

OMON has a way of "press checking" their handguns when it is dark out and they are wearing gloves, so no feel or sight. They blow down the barrel and listen for the sounds to tell them if there is a round in the chamber.

I kid you not, and after training with them for a couple weeks, I couldn't tell if they were serious or not. Best part was, the OMON dude who was explaining it pulls his handgun out in the restaurant we were eating in and demonstrated. Several other of the OMON there promptly followed suit. No one in the restaurant cared to comment on it. Can't blame them!

Not to mention the vodka they had all consumed BEFORE this display.

LOL. Ruskies are damn funny folks. Warm and friendly but plumb crazy. And they think WE are crazy.
