I have so many questions…
Real shit-fer-brains moment, there.
“stop or I’ll shit”
I’ve dropped a few shit grenades in my time, but never a bullet
But it’s not shaped like a gun. It’s styled like a gun. But there’s no gun that shape.
For once I have to side with the TSA.
It looks like something you’d find at Hobby Lobby.
Bleh. I can only hope someone saw this and thought it would be a good gag gift and weren’t seriously excited to go home and install this.
Guns shaped like toilet paper rollers are fine though.
For when you wanna shoot the shit, I suppose.
Classy. Perfect gift for the uncle who already has a Big Mouth Billy Bass.
Ceci n’est pas une pistolet.
You “unload” it when you’re done with “unloading” yourself.
I remember a friend once went flying with a paperweight that looked exactly like a hand grenade in his check-in luggage. But this was pre-9/11, so it went roughly like this:
“Hey, is this a hand grenade in your luggage?”
“No.”
“Okay, cool.”
Really? Because I had a cigar punch that looked like a .44mag bullet but as clearly a cigar punch on a key ring and they made me check it. But they allowed me to carry my pocket knife, as it was under 3". This was pre 9/11.
I feel safer already
Not sure which is the worst:
- That this thing exists
- That TSA confiscated it, as though it posed any actual danger
- That the person carrying it didn’t foresee this happening
Of course there is. And its obviously a Browning.
Say…did you just see that cloud? The one that looks like a horsey?
Wait, where is the annoying person who says:
The only thing that stops a bad guy with a toilet paper roller shaped like a gun is a good guy with a toilet paper roller shaped like a gun
?
Oh wait, that’s me, ugggh
I think its:
- The TSA confiscates 4000 real guns a year.
