[Leica] was eyeliner, now shooting through it

[ricc at mindspring.com (Ric Carter)]

This sort of story I have used for years in explaining to my family  
and friends why there is always a camera there.

Just imagine how many disasters I have prevented. Such a thing can't  
possibly happen until the one trip I make to the grocery without the  
camera. It is also the reason nothing is allowed to interfere in the  
immediate reloading of a camera.

I consider it a safeguard for my kids;^)
