Did I say "served in Vietnam"? Whoops -- I meant served since World War II. Consider Bob Dole's description of the incident that earned him his first Purple Heart:
- "As we approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse. It wasn't a very good pitch (remember, I was used to catching passes, not throwing them). In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal into my leg--the sort of injury the Army patched up with Mercurochrome and a Purple Heart."
I'm sure your relative is equally offended by Bob Dole and his Purple Heart, just as I'm sure that it drives Hello to the same fits of distraction that Kerry's Purple Heart does.

Translation:Ty's getting worried that the $160 is money he's spent, and Ty Jr. need new shoes.
Its time for those of us who love Ty despite his shortcomings to stand up. I am willing to cover $20 of Ty's loss. AG? SAM? the rest?
