An old buddy of mine once told me about how his dad came home drunk and started aggravating his mom. He said that it was good natured at first, then it got to be a bit rougher than she appreciated.
He said she got a .38 revolver and fired it close enough to his face to powder burn his nose.
He said he got up the next morning and his dad was digging the bullet out of the wall with a knife.
I asked him why his dad wanted the bullet.
He shrugged and said he guessed his dad was going to carry the bullet in his pocket and look at it every time he felt the urge to aggravate his mom.
