    As the late Turner Kirkland was fond of saying, "If you want good oats, you have to pay the price. If you'll take oats that have already been through the horse, those come cheaper."

      Thanks for the laugh!

      Let us be careful not to hurt anyone's feelings!

            A pun on current events.

                I still don't get it, and I'm fond of - and frequently use - puns!

                This one must either be a real stretch, or, my disdain for things LGBTQ (or whatever) could be clouding my senses.

                  It went over my head Dick. I'm confused as to the reason behind it too.
                  Am I supposed to be a queer? Holy Sh!t. All this time my wife and I thought I was straight!

                    And now, having exposed our naivete, we will doubtless be subjected to an episode of "how to keep a turkey in suspense", until some more erudite soul takes pity on us.

                        Oh Dick, I looked around and couldn't find a reference to that serial number of 68 rifle you mentioned had surfaced. Is that something local to your area?

                          I have not enquired as to his whereabouts - he apparently read the Trapdoor News piece, but has not posted anything about it, so far, so I'm just letting it lay. It is #36, and correct.

                            Damn, if he contacts you, the information can go into that list of the details of the known rifles that you typed up. Ya never know when one will show up or where.

                              A radical movement on college campuses across the nation is currently underway, with the University of Missouri at "ground zero", to restrict free speech. This is an outgrowth of alleged police brutality episodes that has led to the Black Lives Matter movement. Radical college students of color and their sympathizers are calling for creation of "safe spaces" on college campuses where anything that might be construed as racist, bigoted, homophobic, sexist, etc., may not be exhibited or spoken, lest someone be offended. Students at the University of Missouri, and their faculty sympathizers, became so hostile that they forced the College President and Chancellor to resign. Other students and faculty on campuses across the nation have led protests and marches in sympathy with the University of Missouri students and have, likewise, called for creation of "safe spaces" on their campuses.

                              So be careful what you say and where you say it, lest you be accosted and charged with violating a "safe space!"

                                Thanks, John!

                                Somehow, as a member of the OFC, I'm reminded of the last words of the Duke's dying uncle!
