Every so often, I wonder if I do spend too much time online. And, usually, I'm given a rather striking reminder of why I do, compared to the physical world around me. Today is one of those times.
So...A woman I work with has one of those daily calendars with the "You Might be a Redneck" jokes on them. I looked at today's:
You Might Be a Redneck...if you've ever turkey hunted from a school bus.
Now, I did laugh, because I found this amusing. The Female Co-Worker (henceforth referred to as FCW) had some words about it.
FCW: Don't laugh!
Me: What? But it's funny.
FCW: No, seriously. One time, my husband was driving along 33, and he shot at a pheasant outside his car window. Now, the shotguns have a really hard kickback.
Me: So I heard.
FCW: I've fired a shotgun a few times. It really snaps back into you. My husband, he ahad the shotgun poking out the window, and the kickback slammed the butt right into his chin. He came home, neck and shirt covered in blood. "Should I get stitches?" He ended up going in and getting six stitches on his chin.
Me: (After looking appropriately horrified, and thinking pragmatically) Well, did he get the pheasant?
FCW: Nah, he missed.
I swear to God, this conversation just happened. Help me. Help me...
