That might go through a couple of refrigerators. I've shot one of those before. That's a serious round.

That doesn't always work either.

Not that it would have mattered but I wonder what volume he used. The 'Z' volume is pretty thin.

Did you pick up on the subtext second-level joke about the World Bank? You have to peel back the layers on my jokes to fully appreciate them.

It drives me nuts when people say "uhhh" every three words.

Could you imagine watching the video you made, hearing yourself say "uhh" 100 times and telling Bubba Jr:

"Nailed it!. Put that thang up on the you tubes!"

On a physics note, I'm curious about the ability to hold an encyclopedia that's being shot by a .50 caliber bullet. Even if the encyclopedia could stop the bullet, it seems like you'd come out of it with two fractured thumbs and a massive encyclopedia-shaped bruise on your chest. Could a person really hang onto a book in that situation?

I recognize that they probably weren't thinking that far ahead, so this question isn't about the people involved. It's a physics question.
