Widder, SASS #59054 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I was reading an article this morning about a pistol made during WWII. The writer of the article described it as 'A Natural Pointer' with great 'Ergonomics'. Why is it that most of our pistols are described like this by the writers when we all know that its nearly impossible to just 'point' a pistol and hit our targets. I mean, if all these pistols were such great 'Natural Pointers', then why put a front site on em? And, how in the world can a pistol with slab sided grip panels be 'Ergonomic'? Yea, I know these are silly questions and I basically already know the answers, but hey, its Friday morning and sometimes other topics are more entertaining than a 'Whats the Call' thread. Besides, this thread gives PWB a break..... . OH yea, one more stupid question: When we see on TV a flyin saucer comes to earth from light years away and the space ship can travel at warp speeds, why is it that the lights on the space ship resemble the headlites on my 1988 Chevy Sliverado? ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you realise that the 1988 silverado is one of the most advanced designs ever put forth?? Where do you think such advanced thinking comes from? Certainly not from us lowly humans!!

Cypress Sun Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 If one travels faster than light speed, why do you even need headlights? Also, how would you warn oncoming ufo's of the cop speed trap ahead. Betcha PWB can't answer that one. CS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wyatt Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Widder The reason they look like your 88 Silverado is because your truck is really a spacie ship and you are not from this plant. We human earth people use that term, a natural pointer, to describe firearm that are comfortable in our hands.......humans don't have hummingbird wings for fingers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene Slim SASS 81783 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 And hows come Romans in the movies always speak with British accents? They're Italian! Because the dialogue might sound my Italian landlord in New York, who quite literally talked like Chico Marx. Imagine, "Hey Claudius, I'ma gonna come over and breaka you face!"
