Strangely enough, that information came from a book where the author was claiming America was not a gun culture. :read:

Better than that, it came from a MOVIE, Sgt. York. Or Sgt. Hathcock, if you prefer. :hehe:

I didn't pay attention to the movie too much, but I'm sure they cited the event for bragging purposes. The guys were hired to reduce the squirrel population in a town. They did that effectively. For about a month, then more squirrels moved into the open niches.

They are, if you're a squirrel.

Nope, P-U-R-D-Y. But you have to say it with as vile an accent as you can muster for the right effect. The listener should be able to consider his- or herself violated at that exact instant. Everything else is just icing on the cake.
