This is too funny! And well written I might add. I found I didn't need the Depends, however I did have to wipe my eyes several times in between giggles, laughter, and simpathetic feelings I was having. Now I have to go find Kate and have her read it, and laugh some more.
Since you put this in the That's Life Forum, you won't have to worry about the whole internet reading it, just us brats. You can always go for the infinitely larger readership later.
 
Mike, that was pretty funny and we might add very "ballsy" of you to put it out there for all to read. Hey, at least you could use it for bragging rights......was it a "Big Bore" 58 calibre or a "Little Squirrel" rifle? You post give meaning to the term "Patched round Ball"

Oh, we forgot to ask about the ignition system on that muzzle loader. Was it a flintlock, no, it must have been a Cap and Ball.

Hey it was there and we took it.... :lol:
 
:lol: :lol: :lol: Mike... I am so glad there is another person in the whole world that I can relate to! But... your self imposed problematic predicament pretty much takes the cake. Be glad your wife did not have a camera... she'd most likely be $10,000.00 richer by now...

Mike, ole buddy... let me try to plead (justify) your case.

You know what they say... s.$%# happens and to some, given their frequency of the deification hitting the rotary oscillator, they even say we (usually men) might be accident prone.
The way I see it the frequency of accidents is directly proportional to exposure (no...not the kind of 'exposure' you described... ) to situations where accidents might occur. For those that sit on their proverbial butt and do nothing most of the day accidents can't happen unless of course they get wacked by a meteorite (or their wife for being useless). We "creative thinkers" work to git'r done :wink and some times our well thought out plans :idea: don't pan out as anticipated :oops: :oops: :oops: ... i.e. embarrassing accidents do happen.

To make you feel better and less alone in your embarrassment... all you have to do is listen to my nephew tell stories about what shows up at hospital emergency rooms. He is a X-ray technician at a major hospital in West Virginia....

I laugh till my sides hurt... especially when his stories involve firearms!! :smile

Thanks for the laugh Mike!

Now that's funny, I don't care who ya are! :wink

This thread has taken "sharing" to a new high... not to be topped anytime soon. Guess it's a good thing you weren't trying to clean any washing applicances (think: wringer :disgust ).

None of us doubt the circumstances... really.

Glad to hear the outcome was positive. I think. Of course, I'm sure close family still asks, "Is that thing loaded?" or... nevermind.

Best wishes,
Jim B.
 
I will share this with my wife--and swear her to secrecy--since Marie is a very much a "Good ol Mississippi Girl"--to take it one step further, Marie's mother (a 5th generation Mississippi Gal--at age 90) thinks that Jeff Foxworth is absolutely the funniest person on earth--and is someone who will really appreciate the story (no names mentioned).


Thanks for sharing. My introduction to red necks was in my first year of Baylor Univ College of Medicine, when one of my Texas fraternity brothers was practing "quick draws" in the frat house, with a .38 revolver, and it went off, shooting him in the leg, with the bullet traveling down the femor (major upper leg bone), not hitting any vital structures and exiting from the side of the leg just above the knee cap.

In my "Upcoming Attraction" post Oldgrowth proclaimed to the world that he had the answer to my original statement. I wonder if he was right. If so that makes us kindred spirits!

Mike - I would never have guessed. I laughed my-self silly when I read your story and you are a true Red-Neck. I have gotten myself in some embarrassing situations, but that is not one.
 
Mike, Great story thanks for sharing!
Speaking of "testicles" and trauma...........approximately 25 years ago, I responded to a motor vehicle accident at "O dark hundred hours". We arrived to find a very inebriated fella that had successfully driven a car into a a cyclone fence that was about three feet high. The top pipe of the cyclone fence went through the front grill of the car, managed to slip past the engine, penetrated the fire wall and ended up peeling the guy's scrotum. :disgust
 
We had an emergency room nurse in our Sailing Club in Fremont who, when asked about funny/strange situations, said that the funniest thing she ever witnessed was a guy who came in to have a flashlight removed from his rear!

And, of course, we just had to ask, and she said that, yes, the switch was in the "on" position!

Hi Folks,

Back in the days when music was great, I belive that it was Little Richard who sang "balls of fire". Now I know what he was talking about.

Great story.

It was Jerry Lee Lewis who sang Great Balls of Fire.

However, in one of his songs Little Richard did use a line one might expect to hear in a situation like Alasgun had with his gun.
