His wife had just been brought back (having dyed her hair black from its normal dirty blonde in an effort to hide while AWOL).

In light of the recent events in Aurora, CO, it does not seem a laughable event, just a lucky one in that no one was hurt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2353544207773314848.post-68787878754249562742009-08-18T00:22:41.658-06:002009-08-18T00:22:41.658-06:00Reminds me of a student I had when I taught Jr. Hi...Reminds me of a student I had when I taught Jr. High. He didn't have a gun, but the last time I saw him he was face down on top of a DP (district police) car with a couple of cops beating the shit out of him.<br /><br />I don't know what happened to him after that.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02817854999284162866noreply@blogger.com
