Grandmaw's Gone Nutso

"Aw shit, Grandmaw's on the fucking news again."  Those were the words uttered out of some Bubba's mouth in Fulton, MO, when he found out that his Grandmaw, 69 year old Judy Davis, tried to shoot an Ultralight out of the air. 

Apparently, Grandmaw was sleeping one off when those damn rascals in their parachute airplane thing-a-mah-jiggers started practicing their landings. She must have been real hungover because, rather than phoning the authorites, she grabbed a gun, stuck it in her pocket, walked in the terminal, explained what she was going to do, then walked out onto the runway and started firing at a plane.  (um, hello, airport security?)

Anyways, luckily, nobody got hurt, and authorities apprehended the old coot and took her down to the jail house where Andy was eating Aunt Bee's tuna. 

The most surprising part of the story, is that the local police let her go on a $4,500 bond, once again proving that airport security is one big puppet show. While you and I were being searched for bottles of water, a 69 year old lady could walk right onto the runway of a municipal airport and shoot at landing aircraft.

How about dem apples?
