It used to be the responsibility of the armed forces but they do not have very reliable ammo!

reminds me of when i was Clarke Air Base in the Phillipines, the local police were trying to round up a crowd of Bakala (otherwise known as Shims, Billy Boys, Transexuals)

And weren't having too much success until one policeman fired a warning shot at head height into the crowd.
Not that these lot would breed but they treated EVERYONE like that.

I stopped smoking just over  30 years ago - on the same day the doctor informed us that our first "child" would be  twins . They were born 5 days later.

My wife usually tells everybody that I was so shocked about the news, that I gave up smoking immediately!    ::)

Not a problem - cut it in half, rivet on a handle and be the only owner of the worlds smallest air cooled saucepan!
If it is not an impolite question, how did it get like that?

If you were in Texas, I'd say make it into a belt buckle
 ;)

But since you are not, hmmm.   Maybe you could decontaminate it and turn it into a coffee cup somehow.
Coffee wouldn't stay hot in it for very long, though, with that alloy..  maybe better for iced tea !

Cigs cost at least $8.50 CDN and must be $65-70 per carton now plus tax at 13 per cent. Derek and I heard from a English friend that a carton must be about $148.00 now!!! D. still smokes but I quit 2 years ago. Just maybe stopping for a smoke while riding is a good break. But, then again...what will kill ya first?? The bike or smoking? Bike's are a lot more fun but I did enjoy the break that cig smoking provided. Now I go into a Blue Ridge scenic outlook and never hardly get off the bike!! Just ride in, look, "that's really nice", and ride out!  Even with all the stress of the accident I never thought about having a smoke...they are right when they say you'll know when it's just your time to quit.

[size=12]Marlboros in Bali?!

What do they cost?  (Your other imports being so expensive...)


Thanks for the hint, BTW.  I have 1 1/2 rocker covers coming off the bike soon.


Maybe I could use the cover that [most likely] has holes in it in some kind of water feature?[/size]

I think you should use J-B Weld on your covers and bolt them back on.  Just think of the patina!!!! ::)

Damn!  I was gonna suggest that!!!!!  but I have been accused of using JB Weld for practically everything! ;D  The junkyard LS has a carb float bowl with a few holes that so far  (after a couple of years) the JB is holding just fine! :-/
