Just had a phone call from my local gun guy, crying with laughter. He arrived early at work to open the store and do some moving around and rearranging, and parked at the side of the shop, as usual, entering through the front door. He went through to the back, where all the gunsmithing is done, and moved a bunch of boxes of junk, garbage bags, etc. near to the back double door, ready to be put out. He then unlocked and opened the door.
To his astonishment, in through the door fell (literally) a local hobo, who'd decided to sleep last night in the stairwell leading down to the back doors. The hobo stirred, swore, got up and looked around - to find himself in the same room with a large and hairy owner, carrying a pistol on his waist, and about 20 or 30 shotguns, rifles and long guns leaning against the walls or on workbenches, waiting their turn to be worked on.
Our hobo buddy went pale, yelled "Guns! Guns!" and took off up the steps like the Devil himself was after him. Needless to say, my buddy didn't chase him - he was too busy laughing! He took out all his trash, and has laid aside the hobo's bundle of possessions in case he comes back for it - but I told him he was unlikely to see the gentleman again.
Goes to show - be careful where you sleep!
