An Interruption

You're walking down a road and you encounter a number of people. The first is a pleasant man who, during the course of conversation, you discover, is a poet laureate. In respect to his interests, you compose a poem on the spot and offer it to him. You part and continue to walk. soon you met a young woman. She begins to speak with you and you learn she is a famous fencing instructor. Amazed because you have just purchased a sword yourself, you offer your weapon to her to have her demonstrate her skills. Grateful for the respect shown, she takes the weapon and dances a round, dazzling you with her footwork. retrieving your possession, you move on only to now encounter another gentleman. This individual is a NRA gun collector. Talking to him, you find out he is a racist obnoxious man with anti-society beliefs. He pulls out a large hand gun. He tells you this is a fully loaded and primed 45 caliber automatic and will blow a hole through a barn. Impressed, you ask if you might see the gun a moment. He agrees and passes it over. You ask if the safety is on or off. The man checks and clicks the safety off and points it out to you. As he does, you bring the gun up in your gloved hand and blow his head off. Thinking, he was right about the hole in the barn analogy, you toss the gun by the body and continue your pleasant stroll.
