IMAGEThis photo reminds me of a story my father told my brother. My father had found a bicycle and was returning to base on it. When the guards told him to stop, he couldn't because the bike had no brakes. They allegedly fired a warning shot. Afraid they wouldn't miss with the next shot, he immediately jumped to the ground and got a few bumps and bruises. But it was better than being shot!
