Weird that you should do this, because I was wondering earlier, is it just me? Because I think blowing up things is a "guy" thing... In fact, I took a poll. I asked five, you'll be number six: "Why do guys like blowing things up?" I'll give my results after yours, and I'm hoping you will open a new category after you answer, because thus far, I've had three answers match, and then two. I'm hoping you will be unexpected.  |

SB Like father like son . . . Actually Pop was the one dragged the cans from behind the garage into the backyard for slaughter. Maybe he was paying back the Nazis for trying to kill him not twenty years before and getting me ready to do as much when their descendents got to me. John |

Thank you John. I knew you would give a different answer--but yet, maybe not so much different but with more insight: My poll results showed: The first three answered: "'cause it is cool." The two before you said: "because it is what men do." Yours is the only one that looked for reasoning and I appreciate that. I suspect it's an answer that answers the others, but then? That's what I was hoping for. |
