They wouldn’t do that…or would they…

Late one night, with nothing better to do, I did try to improve the mood of some .45ACP ball cartridges (Winchester White Box) by drawing smily faces on the front of their bullets with a Sharpie. It later dawned on me that some people might not understand, and that if I had to launch those boys in earnest, I could be made to look like an evil bad person in court. I _think_ I've gotten rid of all of those. I still think it was funny, though, or at least silly. P.s.

I left a coupla comments there, m'self, mentioning the perfect *shinyness* of the cartridges. And the disembodied hand, too. Dang, all the cartridges I have were bought so long ago that they seem to have acquired a rather dull demeanor sitting in those boxes. I must get out more, and shoot more, and get fresh ammo to replace the old, which fresh ammo will be shiny and stimulating to gaze upon though horrifically godawfully f-ing costly these days The gun nerds over at The High Road are already all over this.

My mother, who has never held a firearm of any kind in her hands (and as far as I know, never had one in her house), gave the pic only a moment's thought after I said, "What's wrong with this pic?" After about 1.5 seconds she blurted with a guffaw, "The bullets still have shells on them." I'm still trying to figure out how this pic got past AFP's vigorous fact-checking process. :P Heh.
