You know what they say about drinking beer,
Drink till midnight, "pistol" dawn.

I'll double up puns in one word "Gallery"

(either art or shooting)

Mick - you son of a "gun" - Did not know your were such an
"artistic" punster.

I bet the youngster of the group do not know what an old fashion shooting gallery is. Maybe I can "paint" a picture for them. I can remember them at the county fairs. For a little money you got to shoot 22's at all sorts of fun little targets. Most had bent sights. Even if you won something it was worth less than what you paid to shoot. But ah the memorys.
Today a shooting gallery is where druggies go to shoot up their dope.

So I don't have to retire to my "chamber" and sit on my "butt" for awhile ?
I will take "stock" of the situation as soon as I get my arm out of the "sling". I broke it trying to lift a "barrel" of "primer" when I was painting my office.

'Sulfa' as it goes, I do not want this to be a 'breech' of etiquette but you have to keep your 'ramrod' straight around here. You do not want to go off 'half cocked'.

Ancient history:
You would half cock your flintlock to remove the leather protector over the pan. Then cock it fully in order to shoot. That is after you packed the powder and mini ball with the ramrod.

When you finally understand it completely... it changes.

Wow, I had no idea your puns in other threads was being restrained so much. Now that you've let loose I can see how much you were really holding back.
