Well, David, in spite of all my high standards, I will confess I sort of like the idea of old Tony firing on those phone books.

to tell you the truth, I also kinda like the idea. Tony was definitely a unique neighbor. plus his wife was a knockout Irish redhead.

but it WAS a rifle and, unless there's some kind of lore I don't know about the capacity of old telephone books to stop bullets, it feels pretty dicey from the point of view of someone who might've been getting a coat at the same time.
