HAPPY 4th OF JULY, EVERYONE!!!!!
Please observe CAUTION in your celebratory gunfire!
U shud not discharge your firearms in an upward direction,
because those slugs r going to end up SOMEWHERE,
or in someone. Thay showed a woman on TV who was
hit by celebratory gunfire last 4th of July
when she was hit by a falling slug,
causing a nasty chestwound, with an unsightly scar.
Thay said on the news that 2 other women
elsewhere were also hit, albeit with lesser injuries,
but please be careful !!
Some among us will be satisfied
with firecrackers, Roman candles and M-8Os.

Please do not aim celebratory gunfire
at the English, because thay already gave up
and, in fairness: thay did their part
to make the 4th of July what it is today.

@OmSigDAVID,
Frightfully generous of you, old boy!
@OmSigDAVID,
So, instead of firing Upward, I shall now fire my 30-06 at a shallow angle to the horizon? Wont that exacerbate the severity of a potential exit wound?
I can say that C-4 givs me a splitting headache. (All those vasodilators in the smoke)
@OmSigDAVID,
If you lot aimed celebratory gunfire at the English, you'd probably just about hit France.
@Lordyaswas,
DO you know what George III posted in his blog on this day in 1776?
@farmerman,
"Bugger me Porphyria, get me my elephant gun"?
@Lordyaswas,
Or.......
"Don't worry lads, they call it friendly fire....."
@Lordyaswas,
Or.......
"So the colonials signed a piece of paper. And. . . ?"
@roger,
Or......
If you're finding it hard to hate 'em lads, just remember that three Georges from now they'll be in London and seducing your women with chocolates!
@Lordyaswas,
No, George noted in his diary that "Absolutely nothing has happened today
@farmerman,
Was that just before or after they noticed the purple fluid in his potty?
"...and that as Free and Independent States, they have full Power to levy War, conclude Peace, contract Alliances, establish Commerce, and to do all other Acts and Things which Independent States may of right do."
Thank you, Thomas Jefferson.
@Brandon9000,
.......and what other Acts and Things they've done!
Have a great day, USA.
No hard feelings.

Here is a nice description of the second war of independence and the origin of the national anthem.

One of my favorite Acts and Things
happened on July 20, 1969:
America 's first manned landing on the Moon.
It took us 4 days to get up there.
I watched it all on TV, in my bedroom.
