I see your point and apologise, in my defence the story I told was that of a weird accident. Not saying it was funny, just a very odd experience.

and pick on the humans instead.....

A friend of mine is a 'merchant of death' ie. arms dealer and he tells the story....

They were on the firing range a year ago. Signs had been posted for days but they still did not believe that the range was clear. So the commander in charge ordered a motar fire into a particular hill. Sure enough 10 seconds after it landed out came a woman and a herd of goats. Next the motar was aimed at another hill and again 10 seconds after it landed out can a pile of 4x4s!

Later my friend was being driven across the range and he asked the driver if it was safe. 'Sure, the observer will be watching.' Was the reply. He asked a couple more times as he drove across and got the same answer. As he arrived at the control station he found the commander shouting 'fire' into the telephone. 'Where did you come from' the commander asked. When told he explained that if he could have got through to the firing station they would not have been alive now! My friend turned to the driver and said 'I thought you said the observer would be watching.' The reply was an eyes heavenward 'the observer is always watching, ahumduallah'

ps. ahumduallah is arabic for 'God is good'

I guess the anonymous red blob is someones way of saying my apology is not accepted, ho hum, then again I'll just interpret it as someone who hit the wrong button until they have the decency to explain themselves and identify themselves. So thankyou for the support whoever you are, shame you hit the wrong button.
