In order to build those bridges, about 40% of the prison had to be destroyed. Thanks Sallie!<br /><br />Al - I agree Al! That is so funny. I'm not sure I've ever seen a "no shooting" or "no hunting" sign without bullet holes in them.<br /><br />Leovi - Thanks Leovi! A little bit of everything.<br /><br />Anthony - Thanks Anthony!
