Guns are like Caskets, You Never Know When You're Going to Need One.

Maybe this isn't the place for a fun thread, and maybe this is even a little misguided, but here goes nothing.

We all know how frustrating it can be to read the news and see some outcry against firearms with an argument that makes no sense, but it can also be amusing. The idea I had was to try and come up with ludicrous headlines in the vein of what we often see and try to have some fun with it. I would prefer original content, not quotes or links to actual headlines.

Guns are like caskets. You never know when you're going to need one, but do you see people carrying a casket around with them all the time?

Puns are like baskets. You never know when you're going to weave one.

Buns invite asskicks. You never know when you're going to get one.

Butt if you have a gun, you might not end up being a victim in the headlines.

I carry a gun because a cop is too heavy.

A casket is the last thing I'll ever need.

I understand the humor, but I don't see this one going anywhere good....someone will say something to get the lid closed on this one before long, most likely.

So, in other words its buried?

So if guns kill people, I guess pencils misspell words, cars drive drunk, and spoons make people fat?

Whipper,

Threads are like doors, you never know when they'll be locked.

8 responses and not one of them is what I asked for.

I guess my request was more stupid than I thought.

At its present course it's just going to die of natural causes.

Guns are not at all like caskets.
I only need one of the latter. And hopefully, not for quite some time.

Guns are to caskets as apples are to doctors.

An old and not original rhyme:

If an apple a day,
Keeps the doctor away,
Then they're sure to be banned,
By the AMA.
