GREAT BALLS OF FIRE

Food for thought...
That is, in fact, not true, but it wouldn't have surprise me.

A mortar shell exploded during a training exercise in Afghanistan in July 2013, killing four Afghan soldiers and a U.S. Army photographer, Specialist Hilda Clayton. Clayton was training one of them in photojournalism, and both were shooting as the shell exploded. The photos were released by the U.S. Army today. Clayton's is below, the unnamed student's above. The photos were published with the permission of the Clayton family.
The Army said that "not only did Clayton help document activities aimed at shaping and strengthening the [US-Afghan] partnership but she also shared in the risk by participating in the effort."

Remember the bride on the tailgate of a pickup? Now explained:
The bride was large enough, but with that BIG dress there was no way "they" could get into a regular vehicle. This I know because there was a rather large bide who lived in a small town I know well. On her wedding day she and her dress were too large for normal "to the church" transport. Her brother drove Frito truck, so he opened the back doors, helped her up and she rode standing up all the way to the church. When you got a big bride in a big dress you have to improvise.
The same nice lady who explained that to me also told me about the first red light her small town got on Main Street. She said that prior to that it was just a flashing yellow warning, then after it was converted to a red light, it would switch back to flashing yellow at 10pm. When she was a child one of their favorite things to do was run downtown in time to watch that red light switch to flashing yellow.

PEOPLE BEHAVING UNADVISEDLY
Rosie Ruiz, age 26, finishes first in the women’s division of the Boston Marathon with a time of 2:31:56 on April 21, 1980.
She was rewarded with a medal, a laurel wreath and a silver bowl; however, eight days later Ruiz is stripped of her victory after race officials learned she jumped into the race about a mile before the finish line.

Gardening digging gloves...
Speaking of gloves...
The only reason they can do that now is because of this invention.
The trick is that plastic tube that greatly improves the grip. Without them humans just don't have the grip strength to hold the bar.

She may not need a degree to do that but if she's not careful they'll be down around her knees by the time she's fourty. No one will pay to watch 'em spin then!
