Chit,,I thought there was ,,"shots fired",,,,,,,,

 I'm sittin here readin some news and,,,and,,,,there was this " LOUD POP" not quite like a .22 but still out of the blue,,,,took a quick glance at the winder and no broken glass,,,so I hit the floor anyway and rolled to the couch and drug out the 9MM, cranked it up right quick,,,and just laid there for a few til my hands got tired holdin the 9 so dang tight,,,I'm wonderin what the hell is goin on and if the G-men is outside,,, It finally dawns on me that the winder is NOT broke and as I get up,,I see what looks like a shiny round thingie bout the size of a pencil eraser layin on the carpet.  Can't figure what it may be, SOOo, I sit at my computor table and I see the btm part of one of them watch batteries on the table,,,and it looks like it came apart almost like it blew up,,! I get the other part and it matches this one,, and is a Sunbeam 357 battery that I had replaced some weeks ago on my Lazer pointer and had been laying on my PC table for all this time,,,!!  What the heck,,??? Whew,,sure glad it warn't them G-men,,tho,,,,,

  Well,it is kinda funny now but when that sob went POP,,,i was sure them reve-noooers was right outside,,,,, I am gonna save the pieces as there will someday be a "Class Action Lawsuit" on them things,,,,  I still wonder why the dang thing blowed up,,tho,,,,?

 Chit,,Thomas,,if he shows up nekkid like he threatens everybody,,,,I be scurry'in off any way possible,,I prolly won't even be able to find any of them weepons,,,,,

I was just yanking your chain a bit Joe! although, mine is almost always with in arms reach, if not on my belt. Exception is currently I have visiting nurses coming to the house, so I gotta' keep them hidden. They have already asked me if I fell safe in my house, asked my wife about nine months ago when she was in the hospital, too. If they saw a loaded gun in the house they probably call the SWAT out!
