DUMBEST F*&@king thing you've ever heard NOT ON THE ZS FORUM

"Don't forget to refill your gas block."

Nah, I think the receiver is supposed to have a little wobble like that. You know, for recoil reduction and stuff like that." Said by a clerk at a pawn shop when asked about a wobbly receiver on a single shot shotgun.

When I lived in Tacoma Washington, a woman overheard that I used to live in Alaska and broke into a twenty minute rant about the evils of dog-sled racing.
When I finally got a word in edgewise and asked where she'd gotten her information?
Oh, she knew all about it because she'd seen a Fox shockumentary on Greyhound racing.

Cause "Dog Sled Racing" = "Greyhound Racing"

Speaking of Greyhound, these are close winners for the two separate times I had someone walk into the Greyhound terminal where I worked and ask, in all honest sincerity, if we had bus service to Hawaii.

should have told them the bus to Hawaii was down for an hour due to running out of blinker fluid

see just how much of their time you could trick them into wasting

Back in the late eighties/early nineties, when everyone was being pestered about changing their long distance companies, I did that to a telemarketer. I hemmed and hawed for over 20 minutes, sounding like I wanted to change, but was unsure about it- I kept telling him I had an AT&T phone. Finally, he bit on it, and asked me what was so special about my AT&T phone- so, I told him, "It lets me do THIS!"

and I hung up on him

My grandpa would talk with telemarketers for hours. Man was bedridden and nothing better to do, but his mind was perfectly sharp.

Grandma does something similar now, or talks with the nice people trying to buy just a "little bit of land" from her. She talks, serves them cookies, and after an hour or two sweetly tells them that they'd have to talk to her son about that since he's the one that handles all of her affairs.

Eerie Quiet: Both were days that I just kinda wanted to beat my head against the counter in frustration.
However, thanks to our rather spiffy manager, we were allowed to get a bit mouthy depending on the customer.
Honestly, the most common question we'd get was usually:

"Do you guys go non-stop to, "Georgia, Florida, New York, Anything Requiring A Four-Five Day Bus Trip"?
"Sure! It's the latest in bus technology! We stick you in a cryogenic freezing tube, slap an IV in you and send you on your way! Drivers take meth to stay awake!"
"You don't have to be so sarcastic..."
"And you don't have to ask me stupid questions. Now then, what can I do for you?"

Apparently folks get Greyhound Bus Lines confused with airplanes more often than one might think.

Guys, I was SO embarassed on Friday, you have no idea. Dammit all.

I go shooting at least twice a month with my girlfriend and her dad. We just go to the local sand pit. Well, Friday we decided to invite her cousin. Nobody invites him to do much, he's getting over a breakup, and he just bought an AR10 that he wanted to check out.

We get to the sand pit and there's another rig there. An ex army guy, his wife and kid, fine tuning a .308 (wish I'd caught what make/model) and shooting hand guns. We sorted out directions and rules (I am happy to say we had a good, safe day with no fire while I was placing targets down range!) and carried on. I had my AR15 mostly for my girl and her dad to try it, my 12 gauge for clays and my .30-06 to finish sighting it in. Girlfriend and dad had misc. 22's and handguns. We'll call her cousin 'Doug', and he had his new AR10 and his Sig-something .45.

Everything was going great. I was blasting skeets like a sum'bitch, girlfriend and dad were at least hitting cardboard with the AR, and I had my .30-06 in a 4 inch group out to 80 yards (more about my new scope follies in another thread). Then, out came Doug with his AR10. Without any sights on it whatsoever, totally flat top. "I know," he said, "But I just have to run a couple rounds through it. I have a TACTIKUL LAZOR SCOPE ON THE WAY." And that's when I knew it was going to be bad. He looked down the top of the gun and fired 3 or 4 shots at my targets, hitting dirt and the tippy-top of the 50 yard cardboard box. I hid behind the pickup so nobody would see me to reload my '06 until he was done.

Then, as I approached the firing line, there's freakin' Doug again with his pistol out. He draws it up and begins firing wildly down range, FAST as he can. Dust! Dust puffs everywhere! Everywhere....but the target. I mean, there was at least a 12 foot safety zone around that target. I would feel totally secure having Doug shoot at me.


Now, you're asking yourself, "Well Brian sure that's embarassing and retarded and irresponsible, but where's the DUMBEST F*&@king thing you've ever heard NOT ON THE ZS FORUM" ?

It came out right after he was done and had turned around to face me and the other group of people who were well within hearing distance and had witnessed the spectacle.

"I love this gun. See that? HO' LOTTA LEAD."


He is never coming with us again.

That was YOU!?!

[zobmiedown]

How about the fact that it is illegal to hunt in AZ with a magazine of more than 5 rounds capacity

[ZomBosox]

Or the fact that my AR in rhode island is completely legal but if I walk 300 yards from my house I've committed a felony in Massachusetts by having it! Let's see
Collapsible stock
Bayonet lug
30 rd mag ( 10 rounds max ) x 10
Non perm affixed flash suppressor
Yup dumb as can be

Not anymore, they just passed the law changing that to no limit at all.

Your link shows a proposed amendment. Do you have anything saying it has been passed and is now a law? Very interesting idea, but I don't see anything at the States web site.

[Kommander]

I THINK that it was just sent to the Governor but I would have to check and can not be bothers to right now.

Walked into a gun store trying to buy some Magpul flip ups. A kid(18/19yom) and dad walk up to the counter and ask about the Barret 82 on the wall.
kid: how much for that gun?

clerk: 12,000

kid: what kind of bullets does it shoot?

clerk: it shoots a .50 caliber bullet if thats what your asking

kid: thats the gun i was telling you i wanted dad!

dad: are you sure, its pretty expensive and rather large

kid to the clerk: so how far does it shoot?
clerks eyes go wide but he's still being polite

clerk: easily over a mile

kid: A MILE WOW!, yup dad thats definatly the gun i want

clerk shows a .50BMG round and explains alittle bit on what its used for
at this time Im grabbing my buddy cause this is so akward to hear and wanted some company cause i knew my buddy wouldnt believe this, so didnt hear everything that was being said

kid: is it legal? and how many bullets can i buy for it?

clerk: yes its legal, buy as many bullets as you want

kid: is it loud?, does it kick a lot?

clerk: very loud and it pushes a bit

dad: i dont think your gonna be shooting THAT in the garage like i do my 9mm(WTF)

kid: can i put a scope on it?

clerk: if you want to hit anything your aiming at, its probably a good idea

kid: how much does a scope cost?

clerk: if your spending 12K on this rifle probaly a good idea to go with some good glass...maybe 1500-2000$

kid: what about this one(pointing at ACOG) it looks pretty cool
at this point i see a break in the conversation while the kid is looking at the ACOG, i ask the clerk if they have some magpul flips and he goes and grabs them for me

kid: what are those?

clerk: flip up sites for his AR15

kid: will they fit on that gun(barrett)?

clerk: never tried
at this point the clerk kinda starts to tell the kid of how the gun works and why its shoots long ranges

kid: what you think dad?

dad: Im going to need to goto the bank first

my buddy looks at me and says are we being punked?
kid and dad leave the store to go to the bank, outside the kid gets into his car (like a 92 lebaron) and is high fiving his dad

2 days later i go into the store for some more ammo and see the clerk that was talking with the kid i ask
"hey 2 days ago you had 2 barretts on the wall and now there is only one, did you sell it to that kid"?

clerk: yes, head held low

"how many bullets did you sell him"?
clerk: 6

no scope either

[Gun_Nut_2k1]

Good thing the bullets will do him no good without the brass, powder , and primers.

According to this http://www.nraila.org/hunting/issues-an ... enate.aspx

This has now been signed.

Now I can use any of my rifles for hunting. Not sure when it goes into effect though.

Not long ago, I was in one of those large department store type gas stations, a Sheetz I believe. This was in Maryland. It was fairly early, around 4:30 AM if I recall correctly. I found this little computerized menu station where I could order a breakfast burrito made to order, so I punched the buttons and ordered 5 of them. Later, in line to pay, there was an attractive middle-aged woman in line behind me, and she appeared to be dressed for a business meeting.

As I was paying, she sneezed rather loudly and with great force.

I said, "God bless you."
She replied, "No thank you I am not religious."

Now, what kind of person would say something like that? Every time you think you have seen the meter peg on ridiculousness, someone new crosses your path. Although it didn't really anger me, I thought to quickly take control of the situation, so I immediately yelled back at her, "You go straight to hell then."

[zobmiedown]

That falls right in with my theory that as soon as you make something idiot proof some A**H**E comes along and makes a bigger idiot.

Yep, one of the dumber things I've heard today.

What she said sounds logical. Bordering on religious discussion so I'll just leave it there.

I can agree on that but for the sake of plain manners a simple thankyou would have been sufficient.
