DWavs stole my thunder! I liken 'em to fire extinguishers. I hope never to use mine but they're there if I need 'em...and if I do ever need one, I'm really gonna need it.
Allan Where I'm from, shootin' fish in a barrel is just an expression. A fella who worked at my favorite fly shop was charged by a grizzly while fishing, oh, two or three years ago. It turned out not to be a bluff charge nor was he just interested in the fish. This man walked away with his hide intact only because he had a magnum caliber handgun (.357 in his case) on his person. I for one don't want to lament not havin' a gun while a bear is chewing on my head.
...and I don't need no stinkin' comb. Brush it in the mornin' and I'm good for the day.
