True story: Local Cabela’s had a little Black Friday doorbuster sale on some guns and folks started lining u pearly. Doors opened at 5a and the gun counter was, of course, swamped. A few minutes into this excitement, an older gentleman passed out and hit the floor. An ambulance was called and he was taken away. Two hours later, he comes back in, heads to the gun counter, borrows a pair of scissors to cut the hospital bracelet off because his wife “would be pissed if she found out”, and bought the gun he had originally come in for.
Hardcore. (Although not as much so as if he didn’t care what his wife thought)
Git ‘r dun, buddy. Do what you gotta do.
He didn’t want her to find out about the hospital, wasn’t worried about her finding out about the gun. Still pretty hardcore.
My take is he didn’t care what she thought about his buying another gun – he just didn’t want to hear about a trip to the hospital.
I see it as a happy ending.
Hey, we’re all afraid of something.
Older gent sounds like some fellows that I hang out with! 🙂
I had one wife ( I collect them. Actually, not as expensive as you would think, after initial cost for training ) who made an agreement with me. I buy a gun, she gets jewelry. And it wasn’t fake stuff. But we both shopped at the pawn shops so it was okay. The newest wife is of course better, as I’m not a complete idiot and do learn ( mostly ). She earns much more than I do and doesn’t care what I spend my pittance on.
I want that man on my team!
Paid 500 for the gun and 5000 for the ambulance.
