Ron 10 #1 December 22, 2004 Well this might get moved to Speakers....But here goes. One of the Security Officers at work emailed me a Christmas card (Attached). He found my reaction to it really funny....And then he tried to balme it on the other Officer. I swore I would get them back..... Fast forward to today. They called me and asked me to help them ID something. As I walk into their office I see an AK-47 variant laying on a table (A Romanian copy of a Russian Assult Rifle). They need someone to ID it and tell them if it is Semi, or full auto so they can call the ATF or send it along. Well I ask them if they know anyting about it....And they don't. I now know how I will get my revenge. So I ask them if they have taken it apart to check to see if it is see if it is full auto. (You don't have to do this BTW, I could already tell it was a semi auto.) So I take the weapon apart. I have pieces all over the desk. I get up and leave wishing them a Merry Christmas as I go. They tell me to get back there, and I just walk away wishing them a Merry Christmas. People came to my office and told me that they could hear cussing coming from their office as they tried to fiqure out how to put it back together. After a few nasty phone calls (Which I just replied "Merry Christmas" and hung up), and a few emails I went back down a few hours later and put it back together for them. I won this round."No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
