Listen ... I read this ... I giggled, I cringed, I identified ... I am just hoping, as an old guy, that I was never, ever this gung-ho when I was young. I don't even know what to say about it.
Jerry, if that whole conversation was not a comical bit and there really is some guy(s) who thinks that way, I wouldn't put it past him to have a weapon like the one in your photo.
If that person(clown-imo)was walking around a mall that I went to, I wouldn't know whether to get a headache from laughing so hard or be afraid for the shoppers!
