Six Word Memoirs on Life Stories

As the little boy said in Meet the Fockers ...

MotorCityMich says,

Oh, I hear that. I live too close to Detroit to not hear bullets on NYE. Be safe!

oopsalittle says,

wow - real bullets from a gun?
or do you mean fireworks?

Bevvie says,

I mean the stupid stupid tradition of shooting bullets into the air to celebrate the new year. A little boy in church was killed one year when one of those stray bullets hit him. And with all of the fatal shootings lately, you would think... but these people don't think.

MO_Thoughts2 says,

It amazing me that these people don't realize the bullet has to come down somewhere. In my area, we had a little 10 year old girl killed by a celebration bullet on Fourth of July.

oopsalittle says,

excuse my naïveté - I'm shocked that guns are used willy nilly for evil and 'good' (not!) like celebrations :( It's just an accident waiting to happen. So glad we don't have guns here - we have strict laws even about using fireworks...

Bevvie says,

It is illegal, but idiots continue to shoot into the air on New Year's Eve.

Dragonflower says,

I used to live in a town here where I did what Bevvie did every new years. My own neighbor was a wack-o. The sheriff's office would post all these warnings about town and on tv not to do it. It was such a violent town. SO glad I am out of there.

Staraj says,

Wisdom here. I heard about a man killed by a silent bullet that fell from the sky, striking him on top of his head, as he walked with his wife along a city sidewalk. He died in her arms.

For Earth, this is just the end of another spin around itself, while completing just another trip around the sun. Celebrate gravity, instead. Where would we be without it?

Dragonflower says,

Not to change the subject here, Staraj, but gravity and I are not seeing I to I these days. It is reeking havoc on my belief that I am still a spring chicken.

Staraj says,

Gravity rules. Spring chickens, summer chickens, fall chickens, and winter chickens alike. Nevertheless, we "birds" of any season can take short flights from gravity. And even take flights of fancy, when feeling weighed down by circumstance. Aye, aye?

Dragonflower says,

Ahhhh, a different perspective. Thanks. Think I'll go eat an apple.

Staraj says,

Eureka!

Bevvie says,

I fell asleep before midnight, so I didn't hear anything.
