Re: I shot 88 rolls in 1996. How about you???

[P3D charlie hotchkiss <revchas@xxxxxxxx>]

This bragging about the number of rolls one has shot is dangerous. 
Before reading this thread I thought the 7 rolls that I put through my
Revere in the 4 months I owned it in 1996 was rather a lot.  In fact, I
made my self a T-shirt that read "I shot seven."
I wore the shirt around town (Rabbit Hash, Kentucky) but no one said much
about until the giant came.  Yup, a giant was menacing the town.  My
neighbors, who are not photographically competitive, jumped to the
erroneous conclusion that I had killed seven giants.  One giant, the
reasoned, should be child's play for me.  They insisted I meet the fiend.
 Joyce, down to general store, gave me a piece of cheese for the road and
I set out.
Just a bit up Mile High Hill I cam across a little bird who seemed dazed.
 I tenderly put it in my coat pocket.  About a quarter mile past
Juanetta's place I came across the giant and he was a nasty piece of
work.  Fortunately, like most 3-D folk, I'm a quick thinker, so I
challenged the giant to a competition.  First we would see who could
throw a rock the farthest.  The giant heaved his a good ways, then I
pulled out the now recovered bird and gave it a toss.  It flew out of
sight.  The giant lacked the sharp eyes of a 3-D photographer, so he fell
for it, just like he fell for it when I told him the cheese was a stone
and squeezed juice out of it.  The giant slunk away and was later elected
to the state legislature, and I returned to home having learned a thing
or two about the evils of braggadocio.
