It is very funny!

Longet has been allowed to live a private life in the resort town, but she has been portrayed as the duplicitous villain in pop culture.

A 1977 Saturday Night Live episode featured a segment about the "Claudine Longet Invitational Ski Shoot." Chevy Chase and Jane Curtin played commentators as a film showed a skier crashing after the sound of gunfire. "Uh-oh," Curtin said, "he seems to have been accidentally shot by Claudine Longet."

And the release of the Rolling Stones' LP "Emotional Rescue" was delayed in 1980 while lawyers vetted the potential libel in one of the cuts, "Claudine."

The song, written by Mick Jagger, included these lyrics:

"Oh, Claudine/Now only Spider knows for sure/But he ain't talkin' about it any more/Is he, Claudine?/There's blood in the chalet/And blood in the snow/She washed her hands of the whole damn show/The best thing you could do, Claudine."

The song was cut from the album, although copies have leaked out.

I may be wrong but I think SNL got some flack for airing it.

She want's me to take her bowhunting this year for the first time....(11yo)

I remember teaching my wife about the pistols when I first went on the road back in 2001. She's a mean shot now with anything from a long gun to her daily carry 642.

Point is, teach her both they'll enjoy it and it'll make for many great hours of family time at the range and in the field. Not to mention self defense.

There is a difference between when someone wants to learn to shoot and when someone does not. In this case, it cost him his life, because he was trying to force her into it and it didn't work out to well, obviously.

It'll be the last time he refuses to listen to her. Would this classify as a Darwin Award?
