One day I got a call at the shop from a customer who had a question about scopes.
Customer: "What does it mean when a scope is 4x32?"
Me: "It means the scope is a four power with a 32mm objective lens."
Customer: "What does four power mean?"
Me: "It means that if your target is 100 yards away, the target looks like it's only 25 yards away"
Customer: "Does the bullet still have to go the whole 100 yards?"
Long pause.
Me: "No, sir, The target merely appears to be 25 yards away. The scope does not actually compress space-time."
Somehow I managed to hang up before I started laughing.
