There's no doubt that gun shop employees sometimes say goofy things, but they can't hold a candle to the things customers say.
My very favorite was a phone call about rifle scopes.
Cust: What does the 32 in a 4x32 scope mean?
Me: That means it has a 32mm diameter objective lens. That's the one in front.
Cust: What does the 4 mean?
Me: That means it's a 4 power. If the target is 100 yards away, the scope makes it look like it's only 25 yards away.
Cust: Does the bullet still have to go the entire 100 yards?
Me: Long pause - No, sir, the scope merely makes it appear to be 25 yards away. It does not actually warp the space/time continuum.
I don't know how I managed to hang up before I burst out laughing.
