Just quoting Daffy Duck there, guys.
But this story might do just as well in the Funny Farm section.
So I'm at the shooting range today. I've recently acquired a 1911 pistol, hadn't fired it, and was unsure whether I was putting it back together correctly. Asked for an opinion from one of the R.O.s and he looked it over, told me I'd done it right, then field stripped it and showed me how to put it back together with no muss, no fuss. Good guy and really helpful.
Then I mentioned how little money I had tied up in the pistol due to some trading and he said, "You're better off this way. I'd take a 1911 over a Taurus any day."
"Really?" I said. "What about the Taurus PT1911?"
He shook his head. "No way. They make them out of soft metal. Couple hundred rounds through them and they're toast."
Well... I thought it was funny.
