96. I actually did just about that once

Jan 2013

I was at our local Office Max here in semi-rural Arizona a couple of months ago and saw that the idiot in front of me in line was carrying a gun. I turned to my husband and said in a normal tone of voice, "Did you know that men who carry guns have been shown to have small dicks?" The cashier looked up, startled; my poor husband cringed a bit (although he knows I'm a bit outspoken sometimes, so he wasn't too surprised); but the best response was from the guy with the gun. He sort of shrank into himself, stuttered a bit when he finished with the cashier, and quickly left. It was obvious that he had heard me and equally obvious that he was embarrassed.

I like to think that maybe he thought twice before strapping on that gun the next time he went to a store.
