Tell this to any finnish T-72 gunner and he will tell you that this is
a myth. Zero gunners have been loaded into or had any body part loaded
into the main gun breach. At least in here in Finland. He might also
tell you that it would take some considerable dedication to get in the
way of the loader.

Could people please stop chipping in on this Brooks/Arndt contest, it's
muddying the entertainment waters? So far Brooks is ****ing further up the
wall but Arndt is making a bigger splash

Words of...what? Not wisdom. Trying to figure out just what your intent is,
and coming up short. Did you have anything of actual substance to add to the
discussion? Nope? Incapable, or just ignorant?

Personal amusement really. IT's been a highly amusing ****ing contest, I
just wanted to say a hearty "bravo!" to the main players!

Nope

Yep

Incapable,

or just ignorant?


Yup

The next round is called "Spot the sense of humour failure". You've just
taken the lead.

I have a fine sense of humor--you just are not funny. Nothing more sad than
a guy who finds himself being the only one laughing at his own misguided
attempts at humor, is there?
