The safety officer and entire medical team of the Board would like you to stop giving Mike cardiac stress tests.

That is all.

Somebody, probably Russian, noticed that the hole on the bottom of an 82mm mortar round looked like it was the right size to stuff a 12 ga shotgun round into. So they found an improvised hammer and did it. Whether that was a live round, a practice round, or something else is open to question.

Russian E-1 to E-3 being what they are, I can't say I'm surprised.

And if they were on the Ukrainian front lines, that might be the least dangerous thing they did all week.

There is nothing I could say or do to top this comment:
Ashamed to admit this but I made a weird noise while watching this.
And in other news, Saint Barbara has announced that she is taking some personal time. She did not elaborate other than to be heard muttering, "I did NOT sign up for THIS shit...."

To be honest, I thought it was an April Fool's joke. It appears that I owe a few people an apology.

My sort of sincere apology.

Its only sort of sincere because I have to admit that I find it freakin' hilarious the responses of those who have actually handled live ordnance.
