My brother is legally blind in one eye, and had an old H&R 22 cal revolver he had inherited. None of us could ever hit much with that gun. One morning after milking, bro was taking a nap, and a nest of fledging magpies was leaving home from a big old spruce tree right next to his bedroom window. There were several adult birds caw cawing at the top of their lungs (if you have ever witnessed this, you know how annoying these things can be!) A couple of us were working on some piece of equipment in the shop right by the house where the nap was supposed to be happening. All of a sudden we heard some loud swearing and looked over to see the brother in his tighty whiteys on the front porch with that useless revolver aiming into the big spruce tree. He took a shot and TWO magpies fell out of the tree! He turned and went into the house like it was intended to happen that way. Snort---
