I'm thinking it is another one of those gene pool extraction successes... kind of like the drunk guys that play with fire. It never works out too well for them.

This goes to show how many people really do pee in the (gene) pool! If only we could have a better extraction rate!

Really? I thought pointing it at your head and pulling the trigger was the only way to be sure?

I'd like to hear about this so called "better way" you say you have.

I put my lips up to the extractor and quietly say "are you unloaded?" If it doesn't answer, then I know the chamber is empty.

I thought I was the only one who had that "special" relationship with my guns I thought I was the only Gun Whisperer.
