ARMY, MARINES VYING FOR 84-YEAR-OLD GRANDMOTHER (Liberally modified from AP news article, January 16, 2003)
It is rumored that both the army and marines are investigating whether they can hire an 84-year-old Arkansas grandmother to teach marksmanship. The woman, who prefers to be known as, "Granny Oakley," was recently arrested for shooting her son-in-law in an apparent land dispute. She shot and killed her son-in-law with one shot from an open sight .22 caliber rifle at a distance of 220 yards. Army and marine sources, who do not wish to be identified, privately state, "We could use a grandmother like that!"
