Great! I knew my wacky Charley Chaplain walk would come in handy for more than just avoiding sandworms!

Among the highlights:
This whole thing is starting to turn into a bad Monty Python skit.
Does that mean I should be cranky and surly or that I should weave around a lot?
Right. Drink lots of coffee and eat a low-fiber diet so I’m constipated. Makes sense. :rolleyes:
I’m surpised no one has said this. Smoke a joint or two before going outside. That’ll cover the difficult target thing.
Duck and cover!
People, people, people: BP vests work on small-caliber pistol rounds. You’re going to need a lot more than Kevlar to stop a .223 rifle round.
Could you wear more than one jacket? :>
That’s sick… but funny…
This would only be useful if you could shove that someone in front of you in time…
Well, it’s like crossing the street at a busy intersection. What you do is cross with a pack of people so they act as a buffer in case a car does come.
Of course, with a sniper bullet, you’d need a whole mess o’ people. And you might get one, unfortunately.
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!
dan, you’re perverted, twisted, and sick.
Which puts you in excellent company here. 
Thanks, RT. I think there’s something in the coffee here.
The chance of one sniper targetting you is pretty small so the chance of two snipers targeting you must be so small as to be near enough zero.
So, get a friend to sit on a tall building with a high powered rifle to target you whenever you fill up with gas and you should be in the clear.
Can I claim my prize now?
Of course, you have to make sure it is a real friend, and not someone with a good reason to pull the trigger…
The news is also talking about how much bulletproof vests cost, and showing different types :rolleyes:
Something that the “walk irregularly” made me think of…
You know that MST3k movie with Rowsdower? Well when the stupid guys in black are surrounding and approaching that house, one of them does this drop-and-roll thing TOTALLY out of the blue and totally unneccessarily… so I’m picturing people waking down the street, dodging about, doing those soldier rolls, ducking behind things… a whole street full of people doing that would be quite a sight to see. (As opposed to a sight to hear.)
stagger… stagger… crawl… crawl… crawl… stagger left… roll… crawl… stagger…

In Trained Killer School at Quantico, we were always taught to say to ourselves while attacking a defensive position across open ground, “You’re Up, You’re Seen, You’re Down!” to avoid getting whacked by an alert defender. Our morbid 2ndLt humor quickly modified it to “You’re Up, You’re Seen, You’re Dead!”
