How about "MP'd"   as in  " I've just been MP'd"

Though with my initials maybe not.

GUN SAFETY TRAINING -- 2000 Darwin Award Runner-Up

28 February 2000, Texas
A Houston man earned a succinct lesson in gun safety
when he played Russian roulette with a .45-caliber
semiautomatic pistol. Rashaad, nineteen, was visiting
friends when he announced his intention to play
the deadly game. He apparently did not realize that a
semiautomatic pistol, unlike a revolver, automatically
inserts a cartridge into the firing chamber when the
gun is cocked. His chance of winning a round
of Russian roulette was zero, as he quickly discovered.

And I always thought it was called Irish Rouletteà

CS: Field-New Bumper Sticker in Town

2000-08-04 Thread Clive Marshall-Purves

From:   "Clive  Marshall-Purves", [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Just spotted in the Midlands a Range Rover bearing a bumper sticker that
reads :

"I will give up hunting when they pry my cold dead fingers from around my
MP's throat."

I wonder who his/her MP is?  Not that there is any difference  (We mustn't
be prejudice must we...)

Surely the major players, i.e. the Manufactures, and Importers,  could
be persuaded to put up a decent JOINT cash prize.

UKú 10 û 20 K spread between them as prize monies the venue and
publicity would follow fairly easily. The BBC might even take more
than a passing interest.

But then "Tremors" did have,  a) the best play room I've seen and,  b) show
a woman of the female persuasion NOT Screaming like a banshee but loading
and 'un-loading' better than most men !
