Hi, my name is Doyle Hogue and I want to tell you how my thermos saved my wife's life.

The other night a guy came over to the house wanting to trade guns. We dickered back and forth for about an hour. He had a 22 ruger pistol that I wanted, but when I opened it, it was loaded so I unloaded it and threw the bullets on the kitchen table. Finally, we came up with a trade so I went in the back room to get the rifle that I traded, came back in the room picked up the pistol and put it back in the holster and put it up.

The next morning, I got ready for work. My wife fixed my breakfast and set my 2 quart thermos on the table. After that, my nephew came by to ride to work with me. I told him about trading guns, went and got it as I was showing him the way to spin the chambers it discharged. Remember I unloaded it last night; anyway the bullet hit the 2 quart thermos dead center and stopped the bullet. My wife was at the other end of the table.

Come to find out the guy I traded with saw the bullets on the table and reloaded it for me!!! So thanks for making the thermos walls so strong.
