I nearly cried... [o]

when this horrible travesty of breakage occurred earlier today.



Three gave their lives to ensure that the others would live. For a short time.

A stout would have been tougher than that.

Somewhere in the early 90's, my friend and I watched this guy 'shoulder tapping' in front of a grocery store. We new what he was doing because he tried with us, but we weren't in the mood for jail that night. He tried 4-5 people before giving up and just going inside to try and buy the beer for himself.

Lo and behold! he walks out with a 12 pack! Congratulations youngster! but wait... oops... .slip... crash! From the sound and the mess he broke at least half of them. He threw up his hands, shook his head and walked away defeated.

^^ My mother-in-law calls incidents of that nature "automatic spankings."
