A cousin of mine and a friend of ours got married. Both from local hunting families. Families weren't enemies, but were not really friends either. My parents have the newlyweds and the parents over for dinner to break the ice.
My cousin (the father of the bride) starts off that he has started shooting 28 gauges on doves in Argentina and goes on to expound on the good qualities of 28 gauges and why they are better than 20's, on and on.
Father of the groom is silent. They finally ask him "and what do you shoot?"
"12 gauge" he says
Silence and then, "well why is that?"
"When I shoot at something, I want to kill it"
