You say Tomato.....

In a recent conversation with my 12 year old son, he was telling me about his friend's grandmother who just had her other leg amputated. Apparently, she lost the first leg in an unfortunate tractor accident

ME: OMG! What happened?
SON: She is a missionary, and she was down in the Amazon somewhere, and she got gangrene in her leg.
ME: Huh? A 78 year old grandma out in the rainforest, carrying a weapon, and killing people?
SON: No! That would be a MERCENARY!
But, that sure was a neat picture in my head....grandma in army boots, decked out in camo, holding an assault weapon, hand grenades strapped to her chest...I like my version better.
