Attested to by Digital Hairshirt, an LA-area attorney and blogger:
Told to me today by a bailiff (female) at the courthouse whose husband is a Marine:
According to her, Katie Couric was interviewing a Marine Corps sniper. She asked him, "What do you feel when you fire your weapon to kill a living human being."
He answered, succinctly, "Recoil."
Good thing. Clearing, reloading, and re-setting takes time.
That made me chuckle. Good stuff.
ReplyDeleteI'm laughing now. What'd she expect, some pantywaist Massachusetts liberal answer like "I'll be having nightmares about it for the rest of my life", or maybe "If I studied harder in school, I wouldn't be here."?!?
ReplyDeleteRecoil. Such a simple answer.
Not much brightens my day more than snubbing Miss Couric
