Pirate Uncle 2--Guns a Blazin'

A few year's ago at my sister's high school graduation party, my uncle Bob attended. My grandparent's were in town from Florida and Bob came over to see his brother, my grandfather.

Now, my grandfather owns a few firearms and for some reason he wanted to bring one of this guns on his trip to Indiana from Florida. However, my grandmother said no, since they weren't sure about gun laws in other states.

Back to the party...we're standing outside talking with my other uncle, Bill, and he says lets go talk to my grandfather and uncle Bob, who were standing around the corner of the garage, away from the rest of the party.

When I walk around the corner I see my uncle Bob pulling a .38 Special out of his pants to show my grandfather. I'm a little skittish around guns to begin with, but especially in the hands of a nipple twisting pirate. What's he going to need a gun for at a graduation party.

"Arrr...what are you staring at potato salad! You'd better watch yourself...or I'll pump your guts full of lead."
