Well, at age 60, the guys in my crew finally convinced me to get my pistol permit. I have generally been a supporter of sensible gun laws, even here in NY, so I went through the permit process, background checks, character references, waiting period, and finally yesterday I went to pick up my reserved pistol at the local Dicks.

Happily, I went to the checkout with my permit, my brand new pistol, case, and a couple boxes of ammo. I set everything down and had pulled out my American express when the girl at the counter said, “strip down, front facing that way”, pointing off to my left. Well, she must have noticed the shock and hesitation on my face, but still had this awful look of impatience on her face. So, I turned left and started to undo my pants when she picked up the phone and called for the manager. “Good”, I thought, I have a few things to say to him myself!

Turns out he was a reasonable fellow, and de-escalated the tensions pretty quickly, by explaining that the girl was directing me how to insert my credit card… Long story longer, I thought we could use a little de-escalation of tensions ourselves.

Hey, at our age any girl telling us to strip down is a shock!

Can we get back to Savages before Gary regales us with another type of tale not meant for innocents such as myself?

Well, there was this one time I was mooching through the woods carrying a Savage rifle, when a blonde 20-something wearing nothing but a string bikini stepped out from behind a tree. When I asked "are you game?", she said yes. So I shot her.

You could have said "that's not a pistol in my pocket, I'm just happy to be here." "Now give it to me!"

Same day gnoahhh was going back to his truck and another bikini clad las steps from behind a tree and says "Hey there! Want to play around?"

He says "I don't know what kind of game you're playing but I don't see any golf clubs!"

Might have been a joy stick in his hand!


I'm not greedy, I just want one of each.
