Serious Laughs

Uncle Bubba sat at his old wooden kitchen table with a white coffee cup and saucer full of piping hot coffee in front of him. He had a big smile on his face as I pulled out a chair to join him at the table. He showed me a magazine that he received in the mail from a firearms company. He got a kick outta some of the ads and shared a few with me. One is from Nordic Components that claims to sell "zombie eradication necessities". Nordic Components claim to be Zombie Hunters Guild approved and Bubbie's glad because zombies don't kill themselves!

They also advertise a concealed carry tote that, "accommodates all the tools you need to survive the urban jungle!" It's a "low profile carry case that looks like a mild-mannered-computer-nerd accessory, but it's designed for your pistol as well as your PC!" Because you know how dangerous the urban jungle is for unarmed naive nerds. As I thumbed through the pages of the tiny magazine I read a quick article that started with , "The first rule of gunfighting is, of course, have a gun." Bubbie reckoned aloud that the second rule is use it first." In Bubbie's view it was refreshing to see that a company uses a little humor to advertise their products, obviously assuming that their potential customers have a brain.
