I hope he’s not charged with a felony because he shot himself in the knee.
A mis-de-weiner, maybe, but not a felony. :)

JohnA; if I’d been drinking a cup of coffee when I read your 4:38 p.m. post, you’d owe me a new keyboard now. I laughed so loudly that I’m sure the others in the office — all 2 of them — thought I was nuts. Then, they probably do anyway.

Couldn’t resist, DFO. Well, actually I could have but it’s not in my DNA :)
