a frequency that leads me to believe this is shorthand for something I'm just not getting. (which i find kind of surprising because I'm usually pretty intuitive about stuff like this, being a nosy, distrustful journalist) So what am I missing? Or are people having their boats sink just that often?
 
If the feds come knocking and want your guns, we will tell them all our guns were lost in a "boating accident." Tragic isn't it? Moving all your guns at once only to have the boat sink ;)

OOOps Now you let the cat out of the bag and made it bad for all of us. :evil:
 
Legend has it that there's a small island near Norwalk, Ct. Connecticut police dump confiscated weapons there and under cover of darkest night intrepid gun-seekers dip powerful magnets into the water to try and recover the booty for themselves.

I agree with Justin on this one. It is a terrible joke and not really all that funny. Maybe it was when it first started making the rounds but it is old and tired and just not funny anymore. It is to jokes what the USA Today poll is to firearms polls.

I sold all my guns to some guy named Bob in the Walmart Parking lot. He was driving a blue truck.......

Heck I drive a 71 Blazer that is the same color blue. But I hate WalMart so it was not me. I like how it's parked in the handicap parking space...
 
It's a terrible and uncreative joke continually repeated by people too lazy to actually come up with something that is actually funny.

....which is also not funny.

As for my guns, I would gladly turn them in if I could just remember where I buried them.
 
Internet shorthand for "I don't want the goverment to know I have any guns so the black helicopters will go somewhere else because they're reading all of our internet posts and all those guys who talk about their guns will be sorry".

I bought an oxy-acetylene set up just in case,in case someone torches my gun safe and steals all my guns ......Look at that, officer, be careful, its still hot.
Thank God I have this torch with which I shall repair my safe.
 
Wait a minute. Wait just a dogone minute! You guys actually HAVE your own firearms? Personaly, as in you OWN them and even have them at home!?

:eek:
 
Damn it. I sold my last boat about three years ago. Since boats are registered just like every other damned thing, I guess I can't use that excuse either.

Damn it. Gotta keep my eye open for another cheap boat...
 
It's not a joke anymore. It's a cliche. It's caught on and here to stay. Get over it.
