Unsupervised Shopping

Category: Serendipity | Posted: Tue Nov 26, 2013 7:33 pm

Do not let your husband go shopping without you. In fact, don't let him out of the house if you are not with him and he is carrying either cash or a credit card.
Today I had to run into town to get the turkeys to roast for the Food Pantry's Thanksgiving dinner, and my beloved husband said he'd go get a haircut. That sounded safe enoughâ€”a 45 minute to one hour round trip into the "big city" to get a trim. Weather was good, not too much traffic, and I could trust him to get a haircut and return in time for lunch.
He did return in time for lunch. However, he had spent two and a half hours shopping. We now have six bottles of wine, a bag of snack mix, four pizzas, and a rifle. Yes, a rifle with a scope. Barbershops are not what they used to be, now that they obviously stock wine, snacks, and arms. I shall have to mention this to my hairdresser, who may want to branch out from rinses, shampoos, and manicures.
So, now I have to sight in a rifleâ€”something I haven't done in over 30 yearsâ€”and learn to use an over-the-barrel scope. The snack mix, pizzas, and wine I know how to handle.
With the holidays coming up, I thought I'd best warn wives about letting husbands out to shop unsupervised. You never know what they'll bring home.

Randy says it sounds like the perfect shopping trip to him. And as long as he the the sight through scope mount, you shouldn't have any problems with the rifle.
I am left eye dominant and right handed so sighting in anything is difficult for me.

He also says ATF should be the name of a convenience store not a federal government department.
