    Bob, if you talk to him, tell him we are thinking of him and wish him speedy healing. I noticed in recent photographs that he had lost a lot of weight. Didn't think that it might be due to illness.

    Mike, I think that he meant that there are none available because folks have panicked and bought more than they needed. Sales have stopped because there is no inventory, because sales have been...

    Two fingers of his left hand will not be happy

    if he pulls the trigger in that position! He needed to look like he was serious for the photographer but knew that he really wasn't going to shoot soon, hence the dangerous grip.
