Not often that I'd post something my mother forwarded to me (you all have that relative who forwards stupid stuff), but this one was pretty funny. I have no idea if it's valid, but it is nevertheless, funny.
FRENCH SNIPER SCHOOL - ORIGIN OF THE TERM "CRACK SHOT"
As one astute observer noted, "you gotta love the Frenchies; only they could come up with a field expedient bench rest that looks like a still shot from "Broke Back Mountain"
Note: This is a valid psychological two-part procedure....first you "moon" your enemy, making him furious and when he stands up to give you the finger you have a MUCH larger target so that even a French sniper can't miss!
Rumor has it the the French snipers' rec. facility has designer drapes colored to match their rifles.
