"Sorry, we don't have any 12 gauges with fully rifled barrels, but we can order them."
I know "GTFO" is satisfying on a certain level. But making a jerk go nuclear through sarcastic kindness is very satisfying. <------------------------- Worked in a gun store for 5 years. |

Tell him you have everything but the Uzi 9mm. Then tell him to go suck a bag of cocks.

My wife asked me to to go to the store and get a gallon of milk.
She added that if they had eggs, to get six. I came home with six gallons of milk. How things are phrased makes a big difference!

Depending on what part of Nebraska you're in, that could have been a lot of fun. I grew up in eastern MO & would assume people were from IL if I wanted to annoy them. |

Two men.
One, a gun store counter guy, in a profession known for its fascinating mix of ego and condescending attitude with little regard for whether such an attitude is warranted. The other, a gun store customer, himself part of a breed of man known far and wide for its unpredictability and often profound ignorance of that for which they are shopping. When derp collides. |
