Alright Jim , I was just funnin' .
Though seeing the piece did bring to mind Kipling's bit of doggerel : " A scrimmage in a border station- A canter down some dark defile- Ten thousand pounds of education drops to a ten-rupee jezail " |

Seriously, does anyone know a source for ethnic firearms that doesn't involve mortgaging your soul? I'd offer up my firstborn child, but I don't happen to have one.... Fenris |
