I realize it's not the time to talk about this. I'm not a moron, you know.

In fact, that reminds me of the motto of the NRA. “Not talking about stuff since 1871.”

The NRA was formed 10 years after the invention of the Gatling gun — about the time some snowflakes in the nanny state decided it wasn't a good idea for people to conceal and carry a weapon that could fire 200 rounds per minute.

Thank god, the NRA shipped every congressman a crate of chickens to support their next campaign and cooler heads prevailed.

Chickens were the currency of the day, because bitcoin hadn't been invented yet. Making change was a pain, so most people would round up to the nearest chicken, or throw in a couple of eggs.
