My Gun
> Today I swung my front door wide open and placed my Remington 30.06
right in the doorway. I left 6 shells beside it, then left it alone and
went about my business.
>
> While I was gone, the mailman delivered my mail, the neighbor boy across
the street mowed the yard, a girl walked her dog down the street, and
quite a few cars stopped at the stop sign near the front of our house.
>
> After about an hour, I checked on the gun. It was still sitting there,
right where I had left it. It hadn't moved itself outside. It certainly
hadn't killed anyone, even with the numerous opportunities it had been
presented to do so.
>
> In fact, it hadn't even loaded itself.
>
> Well, you can imagine my surprise, with all the media hype about how
dangerous guns are and how they kill people.
>
> Either the media is wrong, or I'm in possession of the laziest gun in
the world.
>
> Well, I'm off to check on my spoons. I hear they're making people fat.
