23 March 2007Quote of the weekWhat is expected of a dealer in firearms, as described by Tamara K.:
When I walk up to your counter and say "Good sir, I would like to see that Euroshooter 55," I don't want to hear "Damn, honey, you don't want one of those. We had those in the 'Nam, and they got all of us killed. Why, I was killed five times because my Euroshooter jammed, plus the bullets just bounced off Charlie and actually made him stronger when you hit him. They're crap. You want you one of these here Thunderzappers! That there's a real gun!" Aside from the fact that calling me "honey" causes me to have to fight down the urge to shoot you in the kneecap, if the Euroshooter is such a crappy gun, then what in the hell is it doing in your showcase? Does your employer know about your scintillating sales pitch? I know that if I heard that in my shop, you'd be out checking to see if Wal-Mart had any greeter's slots open within the hour.
I need hardly add that gun shops aren't the only offender of this type. Posted at 6:27 AM to QOTWYou know, it's hard to exactly picture myself in this position, but if I worked in a gun shop I don't think I'd argue with anybody. On the other hand, it would be surprising/ironic to get robbed at gunpoint. Do gun shop owners ever get robbed at gunpoint? Posted by: Mister Snitch! at 7:51 PM on 24 March 2007 |
