When I was 10 Around age 10 my dad got me one of those little badass compound bow beginner kits. Of course, the first month I went around our land sticking arrows in anything that could get stuck by an arrow. Did you know that a 1955 40 horse Farmall tractor tire will take 6 rounds before it goes down? Tough sumbich. That got boring, so being the 10 yr. old Dukes of Hazard fan that I was, I quickly advanced to taking strips of cut up T-shirt doused in chainsaw gas tied around the end and was sen

Why is 6 afraid of 7 Why is six afraid of seven? Six hasn't been the same since he left Vietnam. Every time he closes his eyes, he's sees Charlie hiding in the darkness of the forest. Not that you could ever see those bastards, mind you. They were fast and they knew their way around the jungle. He remembers the looks on the boy's faces when they walked into that village and... oh Jesus. He shouldn't think about that now. Sometimes he still hears Tex's slow southern drawl. He remembers the smell

Tractor Accident A guy named Matt was obsessed with tractors. He would enter tractor competitions, he would collect tractor figures, he loved tractors. One day he decides to enter a competition, but this time he is the judge. To win the competition, the tractor has to pull as much weight as it can up a 30m hill.

My dad's dad joke a few moments ago My dad is a Navy Vietnam vet who is about to be a retired GM electrical engineer. He is retiring against his will because he has had three strokes, colon cancer, a pulmonary embolism, necrotic esophagus, renal failure, pneumonia, basically a medical shitstorm and he survived it all. In the process, he has lost a lot of memory and quite a bit of his cognitive abilities and furthermore, his balance. However, when I took out the trash tonight at nearly half past

Vietnam ""The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flack jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an ironed-on sporting the MAD slogan ""Up with Mini-skirts!"". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed ""Charlie"" to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew made of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four

At the end of the Vietnam war An American and Vietcong General were discussing who would have won if the war had continued. Unable to agree they decided to hold a competition between the US Army, the Green Berets and the Vietcong. The competition was simple, whoever could catch a rabbit the fastest in the jungle would be declared the winner. The US Army went in first, for over a week all that could be heard from the jungle was the sound of machine guns and mortar fire. Eventually they came out a

(Original)The Honest Chinese man A man in his early sixties visited Vietnam for his vacation. Upon clearing customs, the officer pulled him over to question him on his honesty: ""Mr. Wong, upon checking your travel documents we have found a mismatch in your immigration questionnaire and your passport record. You said you have visited Vietnam once in your past but your passport shows no such record. As an officer I cannot grant you entree unless you are being honest with us."" The Chinese man ins

Why was Six afraid of Seven? Six hasn't been the same since he left Vietnam. Every time he closes his eyes he sees Charlie hiding in the darkness of that forsaken jungle. Not that you could ever see those bastards, mind you. They were fast and they knew their way around the jungle. He remembers the look on the boy's faces when he walked into that village... Oh Jesus. He shouldn't think about that now. Sometimes he still hears Tex's slow southern drawl. He remember's the smell of Brooklyns' cigar
