Already posted before but:

- You own ammo in calibers you don't even have guns chambered for.

 

Yep alot of those fit me to a tee.

 

I have not seen the movie Sgt York since I was a kid. What is the big mistake in it?

 

And how do you clean your gutters with #12 birdshot?

 

"I have not seen the movie Sgt York since I was a kid. What is the big mistake in it?"

The movie has Gary Cooper as Sgt. York performing his most famous feat--taking out a squad of German soldiers singlehanded--with a P-08 Luger. He actually, and famously, did it with a 1911.

"And how do you clean your gutters with #12 birdshot?"

You stick the muzzle of the weapon into the leaves at one end and pull the trigger...

That was what is technically known as a "joke". Bad idea, of course. It might "blow away" a few leaves (pun most definitely intended), but I suspect it would be hard on the gutter. And the shotgun. And the shooter.

PS--.50 BMG isn't really a good caliber for elk, either...

 

Well....I do have a CAT named Mikhail...and yes, it is for Gen. Kalishnikov. No more kids, best I could do.

PS, that's my wife's side of the bed...
