Ten Reasons Why a Handgun Is Better Than a Woman
David Carr (London)  Humour

In reverse order, they are:

10. You can trade an old .44 for two new .22s

9. You can keep one handgun at home and have another for when you're
on the road.

8. If you admire a friend's handgun, and tell him so, he will probably
let you try it out a few times.

7. Your primary handgun doesn't mind if you have a backup.

6. Your handgun will stay with you even if you're out of ammo.

5. A handgun doesn't take up a lot of closet space.

4. Handguns function normally every day of the month.

3. A handgun doesn't ask "Do these new grips make me look fat?"

2. A handgun doesn't mind if you go to sleep after you use it.

AND.....THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY A HANDGUN IS BETTER THAN A WOMAN....

1. You can buy a silencer for a handgun.

This reads as though you have anxiety about the size of your handgun.

Yikes. You really are going trolling, aren'tcha?

11. Doesn't complain if you miss the target.

Ladies, I await a scathing 10-point reply on why a handgun (or maybe that should be long gun) is better than a man.

In which month do ladies talk the least ? In February.


Posted by Jacob at July 19, 2003 01:09 PM

I agree with Mr. Hartin. Please ladies, this could be good.

A handgun won't complain if you have a premature discharge. (although the range safety officer might look askance...)

Inner voice says that I should not rise to the bait, but I am procrastinating so here goes:

Disclaimer: some of these are lame

TOP TEN REASONS WHY A HANDGUN IS BETTER THAN A MAN

10) A handgun does not complain when taken shopping
9) A handgun does not need its ego stroked to properly perform
8) When using a handgun in public the holster is optional not required
7) When taken home, a handgun will not hog your remote or drink all the beer in your refrigerator
6) a handgun generally stays put until needed
5) A handgun has no problem receiving direction and generally shoots in the direction that it is aimed
4) A handgun does not mind having only one owner
3) Pressure actually improves performance
2) regular use will not result in pregnancy

AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON WHY A HANDGUN IS BETTER THAN A MAN...

1) a handgun can be reloaded to perform again immediately after use

yeah, you "guys" should try getting a blow job from a hand gun. and whats more, you men in the UK. I bet you have never even seen a hand gun let alone try and fit a silencer to one.

Sheesh, guys; find yourselves some better women, then!

Amelia,

Excellent!

Deirdre, well nuts to you! This lil' ol Brit here has trained with handguns in the US - and it is a shocker that the sport of target shooting is now banned.

Good joke by the way. Don't think I'll mention it to my girlfriend though.
