Hank’s big black ding dong…

Policing our overgrown shooting range I broke out a metal detector. Not an easy thing to manipulate around lots of led and shredded bullet jackets. I found two A500 plates and a pistol rated swinger. Roman remarked hey that’s Hank’s ding dong! lol. He told me the tale. His Chinese friend, a local student, loved to shoot and had quite an array of top end weaponry. I never understood how he could waltz in a gun store and easily legally buy guns! He sure did.

Hank was unusually excited to arrive while the guys were setting up. He loudly proclaimed “Hey I got us a big black ding dong”! The verbiage was met with open mouths and blank stares. A what? “A black ding dong to shoot!” Looking at each other in wonderment, Hank sensed a miscommunication. He produced a fresh procured 6” A500 plate for their handgun shooting, a “ding-dong”. lol

It’s good to find a still salvageable memory! Destined to ding-dong another day.
