May I suggest that the mods correct obvious spelling errors. It happens all too often that words are misspelled,which lowers the otherwise high caliber of your web-site.
This is not a problem as long as it wasn’t a bottle of water!!!!!
#2 – I’m also very thankful that it wasn’t a tube of toothpaste!
Yoin: “high caliber”?? Of the gun or the website? lol
Shticky. You are funny!
Anyway, my gripe is about:
‘Boson’;
‘back pocked’, and not to mention
‘it was cooperation with the investigations’!
I guess for some ‘writers’, English IS a second language.
