Grand Poobah Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 A teacher who kept a 40 mm shell on his desk as a paperweight blew off part of his hand when he apparently used the object to try to squash a bug, authorities say. Lets not forget the bottom line here, he did get the bug.
VABills Posted April 5, 2006 Author Posted April 5, 2006 Where was this guys body armor. Doesn't Bush know it's dangerous being a teacher, picking up loose shels, squashing bugs? This is Bushs fault that he allowed a loose round to be available to anyone walking around.
Ghost of BiB Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 What an idiot. Found it in the woods? WTF do they use to hunt with there? What are they hunting for, T-Rex?
shrader Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Lets not forget the bottom line here, he did get the bug. 653012[/snapback] Actually, we don't know for sure whether or not he actually killed the fly.
IDBillzFan Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 Well, there is one good thing. If anyone ever makes a movie about a teacher who squashes a bug with a live shell, only to have his hand blown off in front of his class, at least one person will get it.
stuckincincy Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 This is curious. A 40 mm Bofors cannon projectile is more than five inches in length. If it was active, he'd pretty much have to whack it down point first, and he would have been vaporized. I'm not aware of any recent 40mm mortar rounds. Perhaps it was a 40mm signal round for a M79 or M19.

Like A Mofo Posted April 5, 2006 Posted April 5, 2006 This is Bushs fault that he allowed a loose round to be available to anyone walking around. 653031[/snapback] I'm suprised Bush has not been blamed for only getting a 5th rounder for EM

At least some of those rounds are base-fused...and I have a very hard time believing anyone would be dumb enough to try to squash a bug with the business end of a shell.

Had he discharged the warhead - depending on the charge - the forensic team might have been scraping portions of him from the walls and ceiling.
cantankerous Posted April 6, 2006 Posted April 6, 2006 Good thing some gay dude didn't find it first. 653194[/snapback] mauahahahahahahaha!
