    How does such a device penetrate into the armor of a tank? Does it have to hit it in a certain spot? What exactly is in that tube and it is a 1 shot, throw away item?

    Conversation at JEDI's house . . .

    DO NOT wash your hair in the shower!! It's so good to finally get a health warning that is useful!!!

    *IT INVOLVES THE SHAMPOO WHEN IT RUNS DOWN YOUR BODY WHEN YOU SHOWER WITH IT. WARNING TO US ALL!!! Shampoo Warning!*

    I don't know WHY I didn't figure this out sooner! I use shampoo in the shower! When I wash my hair, the shampoo runs down my whole body, and printed very clearly on the shampoo label is this warning, "FOR EXTRA BODY AND VOLUME." No wonder I have been gaining weight!*

    Well! I got rid of that shampoo and I am going to start showering with Dawn Dishwashing Soap. It's label reads, "DISSOLVES FAT THAT IS OTHERWISE DIFFICULT TO REMOVE."

    ps.
    But you need to use a darker PINK because it's hard to read that light PINK on INGO.
    Jedi uses color code ff33cc and you may be using ff9999

    Jedi, it depends on the rocket.
    Probably a shaped charge on a rocket.
    The shaped charge usually drives a ultra-hard metal through the skin of the tank. How much armor it can defeat depends on the rocket, the type of armor the tank has, and the "angle of attack".
    When the ultra-hard metal is driven through the tank, it creates a vacuum, which pulls "spall" behind it. Spall would be metal that's been turned to plasma by the explosion, armor of the tank and weapon together. This superheated "spall" turns the inside of the tank into a raging furnace for a second, igniting ammo and/or fuel. Also ignites clothing.

    Whether it is throw away depends on what type it is.

    Well, the good news is that the doc I had to see today to verify my health, was sure I wasn't scamming the system.
    The bad news is, when I mentioned I was hoping to go back to work in a couple weeks though, he kinda shook his head.
    Said maybe, but that depends on my doc. And they don't want me back too soon, it could undo all the work that's been done this month.
    2 to 4 weeks is possible. Darn.

    Then when I get home, US Steel left a message saying I have to reschedule my appointment since I missed my appointment. What?
    I think I was supposed to see a doc that was in a meeting. So the other doc saw me.
    Then the doc I was supposed to see got out of the meeting, I wasn't there.
    I have to call to straighten it out.
