There are times when a gun is best left unloaded. Just incase something bad happens. ;)

It was good advice, but you know the crew that frequents this place.

I'm kinda new here but thought I'd drop in anyway. I feel bad that I don't frequent this section frequently enough. So, here I am.

Since you're serving drinks, could I get a shot of alcohol? Rubbing will do. I didn't say I was gonna drink it.

As to the advice to keep gun unloaded, that sounds wise to me. I know it's crossing genres, but, give me one bullet and stick it in my pocket.

Welcome, B. You know, Barney Fife made a career with one bullet in his pocket.

That's exactly what I was thinking. Where I live (a small town very similar to Mayberry) we have a running joke about our finest public servants. It is just HILARIOUS to see them trying to poke around a crime scene like they know what they're doing. In fact, I think there's some good humor (not the ice cream) stories in there. I'll have to think about that. If you'd like to hear them, I can give a quick account.

I should really be working on a new resume, but what the heck. Here goes.

These are meant to be just a summations of the story and not to be taken literally as though it were a written story. That will come later, much later.

Disclaimer: The names have been changed to protect the innocent.

My family is compromised of relatively short, overweight people. All of us, it's just how we are. Several years ago, the tobacco shop just down the hill from our house was robbed. The surveillance video showed a tall, skinny person robbing the store. He happened to be our neighbor at the time.

What do you know? Barney Fife shows up at our front door the following morning. He is questioning my father about what had occurred. Fife shows Dad a ski mask and asks him, "Jim, is this your mask?"

"No," my father responds.

"Well, it was found in your backyard this morning."

"The owner has cameras, doesn't he? I heard it was a skinny kid on the tape. John, you can search this house all you like, but I don't think you'll find anyone matching that description."

The police officer who, after looking at the video evidence, suspected my father of owning this ski mask. This officer, I would not trust to deduce how to use his one-bullet allotment. Would you?

Thanks for the alcohol, regdog. Nothing like a good shot of isopropyl ethanol. Got any maker's mark back there? That's what I'm used to.

We gotta practice on that shooting thing because it's gets dangerous in this establishment. Actually, I'm not sure which one would be more dangerous...

Maker's Mark only goes back to 1954.
Yeah, I'm afeared there ain't no bourbon in these here parts at all. But I do believe there's a bottle of Snake Piss behind the bar right there next to the rot gut. It should do you in some.

*spit*

Ferret? You got a spare ceegar?
