Fun With Guns: Internet Edition

January 14, 2014 By: Juanita Jean Herownself Category: Uncategorized

Imagine being in Alaska.  Now imagine being in Alaska without internet.

It’s a New Year’s tradition to shoot off guns at midnight in the village at the confluence of the Tanana and Yukon rivers, about 150 miles west of Fairbanks. This year, however, the shooters evidently weren’t paying attention where they were pointing their guns when someone shot one of the main fiber-optic cable lines.

And the crowning glory.

“You can’t fix stupid,” is how Ralph Eller, owner of Yukon Telephone and Supervisions Cable TV, summed up the incident.

They have to wait for the supplies to fix the cable line, but they have plenty of ammo in stock.

Thanks to TexasTrailerParkTrash for the heads up.
