Gun buying humor

From a friend:

Got my concealed carry permit yesterday. In the afternoon, I went over to the local Bass Pro Shop to get a small 9mm handgun for home/personal protection. When I was ready to pay for the pistol and ammo, the cashier said, "Strip down, facing me." Making a mental note to complain to the NRA about the gun control wackos running amok, I did just as she had instructed.

When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out she was referring to how I should place my credit card in the card reader!!!

As an intelligent senior citizen, I do not get flustered often. But this time, it took me a while to get my pants back on. I've been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions to seniors a little more clear. I still don't think I looked that bad.

    Neinn. Not much real Norse in me, except the part left over by the Vikings in Ireland or England.

    The Thor moniker comes from a time where everyone in the office got some kind of descriptive name. I was quite strong for my nominal size, athletic, and very direct (aggressive?) with quite a constitution. Playing football at 9am, soccer at 2pm, and rugby at 6pm on the same day pushed the guys over the edge.
    The "itsu" part come from martial arts, where I actually practice ju-do (similar to ju-jitsu), but "Thordo" was taken on many sites as some Lord of the Ring-ish character. Therefore I made up Thoritsu as a descriptive handle.

    Got any moniker's yourself there salty one?

    I am watching my customers today and making a mental note on who I would like to have this misunderstanding with and who I wouldn't. Kind of fun.
