Ever notice how O/U shooters never look through the bores?

Even with ejectors I look in my barrels but I also stick my nose in the chambers and inhale. I love the smell of burnt gunpowder. I really don't care if there are traces of lead in the smoke either. After 34 years of farming I'm so full of toxic chemicals that I probably glow in the dark anyway.
