I came across this photo, and thought some of you guys might get a kick out of it.
Last year, I had the privilege of taking my wife to London, her girlhood dream vacation. My wife, realizing that the whole itinerary revolved around her, asked me if there was anything in particular I wanted to see. Being a shotgun enthusiast, I relished the opportunity to do something relating to the storied sporting arms history of London. So I looked up where Holland & Holland was located, and determined that it was a short walk from a tube stop. (We used public transportation for the whole trip, and the London Underground was an unexpected highlight for me. Very nice system.)
I knew what I was getting into when I planned to stop in. The gracious employees that greeted me showed me to their coat closet, where I hung up my $20 rain jacket. They assured me it would be "quite safe".
I spent my time in the store marveling at the displays of fine gear, their hunting and shooting literature, and of course, their gun room. In that gun room, a certain item caught my eye, and I just
had to leave with it.
I call this photo; "Dumb Yank with a Baseball Cap".
The irony of my 25 purchase was not lost on me. And yes, my rain coat was quite safe.
