When they graduate, they’ll be sure to wear mortarboards.

Still needs working on. As it is, one has to live fairly close to the school.

Sometimes she has to send silver wear, so she then becomes a mortar forker.

My baby bro was in the Iraq fighting. They were in an area where insurgents where firing off these hand held motars. He heard a loud bang and they went to check it out. They found several dead insurgents about a dead guy with a hand held motar. One guy had a video camera. They replayed it. He was dropping rounds into the tube saying the words. He made it to four rounds. I guess he forgot the military has the radar that can detect incoming rounds and figure a return fire solution. He was the receiver of an 80mm return shot, dead on target. That was the bang they heard. She had better be careful of the return shot.

PVC pipe; a barbeque grill igniter and hair spray make a very good “potatoe delivery system.”
