#1 I've said it before, and I'm sure the ER personnel said it again:

"Too stupid to live should be a valid diagnosis."

#8 What a wuss. A real man would have squashed that bug with a 155mm shell.

#9 Another example of the decline in teacher quality. Anyone care to hazard whether this guy grew up with guns in the house?

#10 Any idea what this rocket scientist teaches? I think I'll bust a gut if it is something like physics.

#13 I've got to wonder WHAT THE HECK is a teacher doing with a shell in his classroom ON HIS DESK. Show off? Can't think of any reason that is acceptable. This would be worse if the teacher was teaching kids, but it's just as ridiculous in an adult education class. Guess everyone in that class learned not to play around with firearms, so not a total loss.
