Karma-richly deserved!

What goes round, comes round. In this case it was a bullet.

Why do I find it difficult to sympathise? I just hope the armadillo is alright.

Must have given the armadillo a smile! who would be so daft as to shoot at one? they have a suit of armour on.Also why shoot at one anyway?

Because he's in Texas? Its what they do there? Poor Obama having to deal with people like that.

There's a country and western song in there ... e.g.

Nothing could be thriller
Than a lovely armadillo
Who with a flick of its tail
Made a bullet rico-chey-ey-ey ....smile

I knitted an armadillo for DD1 when she was a baby. There may be a photo of it lurking in a loft somewhere. It was not terribly lifelike but I was rather chuffed with it.

Now a I want to see a photo of it Thatbags, it's not every day one sees a knitted armadillo.

What a hero - bravely pitting himself against an armadillo. Twit.
