I have seen ASM's or rather pics thereof that had nothing more than an A prefix in the serial number.

My recent purchase of Second Dragoon madel from Krylandalian has no visible external markings (!!!) other than the serial number, proff mark (PN) and date code on the frame forward of the trigger guard. The "Armi San Marco" stamping is under the loading lever and not visible unless you drop it. There are no "black powder only" warnings.

Reheating some leftovers left me exhausterated.
that's my story and i'm sticking to it  ^j)

prof ( tuckered out ) marvel

When I read that I just about spewed my drink through my nose! Long ago I had a supervisor who liked to use the "word" flusterated.  ^j)

I guess it was his form of contraction/combination of flustered and frustrated. Could never convince him of the difference.

Good old memories, sir. Sorry if I am way off topic, but that just tripped my humor trigger. Thanks!

LOL! I had a co-worker that always said "pillagered" instead of pillaged. Couldn't convince him either.

So long as we are off topic, I had a co-worker who had his paycheck garnished, but he insisted that the word was pronounced "garinsheed", and could not be convinced otherwise.

There are too many uneducated people in the world, and with that, I am done with this hilarious series of faux pas.

Back to our regularly scheduled program. I apologize for the interruption.

I've used most of those and more. I've made up my own words since I was a kid and never quit. And garnisheed is a correct southern pronunciation. (7+"

Hawg, you misspelled it.  I can understand "garnisheed" as opposed "garinsheed" insofar as pronunciation is concerned.

LOL. In the South, "Y'all" is singular and "all Y'all" is plural. I was corrected about that early on from a woman I used to work with from Memphis in the 1970's.

It is what it is...

I know this is off topic, but you folks keep egging me on.  )lI

I dunno what part of the south she was from but it wasn't originally Memphis. Y'all is never singular, never has been.
