I know how he feels, there's a strong smell of stupid enveloping the world, and common sense isn't very common any more. But, I wonder if he has an assistant named Pancho Sanza?

The guy freaked when he got the invoice. $10 for the part and almost $60 for the shipping. The weight was mentioned in the auction description, plus there was one of the "estimate shipping" boxes there for them to input their zip code. Jeesh! Lane |

How about turning some brass rod to a point on one end? Sheesh, with all the totally fruitcake auctions that are apparently people selling books on how to buy government surplus, people clearly offering prescription medications for sale, and a whole bunch of other stuff, they have to go hassle this guy about pieces of brass!

Ive got 50 rounds of this caliber ammo in the truck, along with the rifle. Shrug Ive probably got 20 or more emptys of all types, floating around under the seats, in the heater vents, console, etc Which is one reason my truck NEVER goes to Mexico.

They are also losing their ability to spell and know the meanings of words. And losing the ability to steer a vehicle, let alone drive one. It appears that most people are on auto-pilot nowadays. Watch ten people in line at the supermarket/restaurant/deli/McD who use their credit card. Note how few of them even -look- at the receipt. People are too rushed to pay attention. No wonder their health is so bad; they eat at McD's and never stop to smell the roses. -- "Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good." --H. L.
