Umm... er... well... see, I got this shiny brand new Black Rifle. It's never really been stress-tested, so I'd have to put a little stress on it and test it, just to make sure it's fully functional. Purely Quality Control testing, I assure you - and that requires a bit of stress to bring out it's best, and show any failures that may occur in materials and workmanship.

Well, uh, yeah... there's nothing else to do after the shooting, and there might be something good on the telly, y'know?

I see what you did there - "quick second" - as in "the quick and the dead". I like that!
Quote:You making your own ammunition again, aren't you?
Yuh huh. I like it a little zippier than most. Looking at getting an old black powder revolver, so I can pack it to order as the occasion arises.

No problem - we all enjoy a little nostalgia every now and then!
Diogenes was eating bread and lentils for supper. He was seen by the philosopher Aristippus, who lived comfortably by flattering the king.
Said Aristippus, ‘If you would learn to be subservient to the king you would not have to live on lentils.’ Said Diogenes, ‘Learn to live on lentils and you will not have to be subservient to the king.’
