As I was taking the escaltor downstairs, I heard a rattling noise that got louder the closer I got to the bottom.<BR/><BR/>I was suprised to find several rounds of ammo bouncing around at the bottom of the escaltor where the treads end. There was one round of .22 magnun, two rounds of .44 magnum jhp and one round of .44 special roundnosed cast lead.<BR/><BR/>I held onto them for several years untill I was able to buy the guns to use them in.<BR/><BR/>I guess I was wrong to do that and next time I'll just start running around waving my arms over my head and screaming for the bomb squad.(not!)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-2995834046332878982009-02-11T17:45:00.000-05:002009-02-11T17:45:00.000-05:00Just imagine if they had brought drug sniffing dog...Just imagine if they had brought drug sniffing dogs.

Denting the enamal in the tub of the coin-operated washing machines? <BR/><BR/>Oh, now wait-- I got it. I know how this went:<BR/> A deranged person, bent on wreaking havoc on Wheaton College, loaded up his various "assault weapons," and started into the dorms, where he could do his evil deeds. At some point he realized, <I>"ZOMG! I can't go on a killing spree with dirty pants! I've got to launder these!"</I> So deranged was this man, he <I>didn't even use fabric softener</I>. <BR/><BR/>During the (evil) washing of his trou, a single (evil) "assault cartridge" was slung from his (evil) dungarees. <BR/><BR/>The plot was foiled by the quick-thinking action of another student who was trying to wash the bong-water out of his Phish T-shirt. Only the rapid deployment of (drug) bomb-sniffing dogs and lots of police (with guns) interupted what surely would have been a horrible killing spree.Matt Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03500429239798601210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15907727.post-25009590021540325472009-02-11T13:15:00.000-05:002009-02-11T13:15:00.000-05:00Had I found a .45 round in my dorm I'd have had a ...Had I found a .45 round in my dorm I'd have had a hard time figuring out to whom it belonged.
