kinda sorta on the same lines but an actual competition
Royal Navy Field Gun Competition
A local fellow was in (if I remember correctly)a Marine Reserve artillery unit. His outfit won a competition at camp for getting their field gun set up and a blank round fired off the fastest. They were in our local July 4th parade. When they reached the main intersection of town, they demonstrated their speed at setting up and firing. A friend of mine was returning with the ambulance from a run to CR. On the radio chatter, he heard that there were broken plate glass windows on Main Street in our town. He got on and asked if it was vandalism and was told, "No, cannon fire."
Not a real member - just an ordinary guy who appreciates being able to hang around and say something once in awhile.

Not only a less than minimally educated person, but stupid and out of touch as well.
