considering nobody is making a hoot of sense on this board, I see ample opportunity to get my own thoughts on (besides, I'm bored)...anyway, picturing being in the restroom, doing the female "squat", gun drops, gun goes boom, bullet hits one of two legs keeping you suspended over the seat , wounded leg collapses....and there's jack "squat: you can do to avoid falling on the floor......neber mind
