Duck, neighbor!

We’ve all tussled with a neighbor from time to time.

We may have let our dog do his business over the property line. We may let the kid bang a ball against his wall. Our guests may have parked in his driveway.

But doggone it, at least we didn’t do what a history buff did in Uniontown, Pa.

He fired a cannonball through his neighbor’s home. A 2-pounder. Seriously.

This is above and beyond the call of neighborly accidents. I think it’s an act of war.

So if you’re thinking of moving into a nice subdivision, first check to see that none of the neighbors collects cannons. Or shoots them.

Or dig a bunker in the back yard and put the local hospital on speed dial.

The Second Amendment is demonstrated to be very important, as a young person of my acquaintance says, because it is the second, not the tenth. Even so, does the Constitution really apply to village idiots?
