Y'know, I have a friend who owns a Nickel-plated .44 Magnum revolver - the Dirty Harry gun, only very shiny. He took a picture of me firing that weapon, and I pinned it up in my cube with a title "The Line Forms to the Right". I was shooting towards the right in the photo. It Worked. No kidding. 'Course, where I am now the Cubicle Police would have me fired post-haste for being such a politically incorrect anti-social gun-toting anarchist. Whatever happened to a sense of humor?
