They must have had a great relationship.

I think the hubby would pay good money to shoot at me like that!

I doubt that KW. What if he missed and deflated on of those big Fs. That would make hubby very sad.

He does enjoy them quite a bit... but I think the fun of shooting at me would win out...

Big Gary - It was over in a shot.

It must have been a shotgun wedding

Damn... that's a small piece of glass! I don't think I'd trust even the sharpest shooter not to hit me, or my hands holding the glass up...

I'm sad to say I don't have that kind of faith in my wife.
