My hunting buddy, Norm, called one day to go grouse hunting.

He had just gotten a new shotgun shell loading press & wanted to try out his new hand loads.

Soon we were in Norm’s old Studebaker truck & making tracks for “the old stomping grounds”. 

A short way from the house a squirrel ran across the road and up the bank on my side.

Quick as a wink Norm, stopped the truck, jumped out and  fired at the squirrel over the hood of the truck.

Well!  The gun just made a weak pop and the shot kind of dribbled out the barrel on the hood.

Not easily dissuaded Norm charged up the bank & took a shot at the squirrel over head in a tree.

Again the gun went pop. But this time it rained shot on both of us.

Norm mumbled under his breath. “Kind of wish you hadn’t seen this”.
