Funny Story

So there's this new hire at my wife's work. She's ex Israeli army sniper. Not knowing this, the team decided to do a team building/icebreaker event at, wait... you guessed it... PAINTBALL!

Yeah they were all dead in like 5 minutes.

She is probably disappointed that they were only paint balls.

I guess pork chops & ham sandwiches will be off the cafeteria menu now !!

That's great!

We just hired an Operation Iraqi Freedom vet to take over our customer service and sales rep. support duties. A paintball outing has actually been discussed. She will be on my team!

I played paintball for the first time in my life with the folks from my new company. The only non-employee was a roomate of an employee. Turns out he is a SWAT team member for the local sheriff's department.

We had a ground rule: No firing on someone from less than 10 feet.

In the first battle, I boldly advanced to the middle of the course and took cover on one side of a structure built for the battles. I peered around the corner to find this SWAT guy trying to hide behind the other side of this same structure! Adrenalin and panick took over and, before I knew it, I pumped 4 paintballs into his backside from near point blank range!

I knew it hurt him like hell because I took a few rounds later, but luckly for me he was a good sport with me.
