Tow Truck Driver Fist Fight

This past weekend, I was in Denver and saw probably the coolest thing in my life: Two tow truck drivers in a fight. A nasty fist fight, with amazing results. You probably didn’t see this in the news.

It seems a guy’s hummer overheated on Colfax Avenue. He coasted into the gas station I was at, called 911, and left the scene in a friend’s Smart Car.

As I sat watching, a tow truck showed up and backed up to the front of the Hummer. At about the same time, another tow truck from company “B” showed up. The driver got out and started yelling at the driver from company “A”.

The heated exchange lasted for a few minuets, then they started throwing punches. After an ugly 20 seconds of John Wayne fist fighting, driver “B” jumped into his truck and fired it up. He did a u-turn, and backed up to the rear of the Hummer. He hopped out and ran to the back of his truck and started hooking up to the disabled Hummer.

Driver “A” ran to the Hummer and started hooking up his tow truck.

Both men jumped into their vehicles at the same time and fired them up. They both lurched forward, wheels spinning, engines racing, and thick, burnt rubber tire smoke filling the air. I heard the sound as if taffy were being pulled.

One driver was in a Ford, the other in a Chevy. The tug-o-war lasted about 2 minutes, but seemed an eternity. The smoke choked me and was so dense I couldn’t see any of the vehicles.

Sometime during the fight, the trucks both stopped, unhooked, and drove out of the blue cloud at the same time. When the smoke cleared,  this is what I saw:

A stretched Hummer. Who would’ve believed it? The sheet metal wasn’t even wrinkled. Amazing.

The drivers looked back at each other, then the Hummer, and they both tore out of there like jackrabbits.

Someday I’d like to see them do that with the Smart Car.

How You Become a Better Rifleman By Using Your Mouse

It sounds a little crazy, but you can become a better shot while you are on the computer. And I’m not talking some stupid video game, either.  Here’s how:

As any good sniper knows, trigger control is one of those skills that needs to be developed. Try this.

1. Put you finger on the trigger EXACTLY THE SAME every single time. The pad (fingerprint area) is a good place to start.

2. Get your breathing slowed down. Watch how the target moves in the crosshairs as you breathe.

3. At the "bottom" of your exhale is when you shoot.

4. Squeeze, don’t pull the trigger. You’ve already taken up the slack in the trigger at this point, and you know how much harder you will squeeze before the thing lets ’em fly.

Now for the mouse:

Get your breathing down, take up the slack, and at the bottom of your breath, SQUEEZE the mouse, don’t click it. This can be especially effective when ordering United States Militia – Special Forces t-shirts from http://store.jerrybegly.com . Try squeezing one off on an Adult size XL, Hanes Beefy T 100% Cotton, Tan t-shirt.

If you click your mouse, instead of squeezing, you will probably hit to the right of your target, and end up ordering some cheap imitation John Wayne figurine that was made in China, and will end up being recalled. Happy shooting.
