Texas Question

"Texas Question"

Question: You're walking down a deserted street with your wife and two
small children. Suddenly, a dangerous looking man with a huge knife
comes around the corner and is running at you while screaming
obscenities. In your hand is a Glock 22 (.40) and you are an expert shot.

You have mere seconds before he reaches you and your family. What do you do?

Liberal Answer:

Well, that's not enough information to answer the question! Does the man
look poor or oppressed? Have I ever done anything to him that is
inspiring him to attack?

Could we run away? What does my wife think?

What about the kids?

Could I possibly swing the gun like a club and knock the knife out of
his hand?

What does the law say about this situation?

Is it possible he'd be happy with just killing me?

Does he definitely want to kill me or would he just be content to wound
me?

If I were to grab his knees and hold on, could my family get away while
he was stabbing me?

This is all so confusing! I need to debate this with some friends for a
few days to try to come to a conclusion.

Conservative Answer:

BANG!

A Texan's Answer:

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! click............

(sounds of clip being ejected and fresh clip installed)

Wife: "Sweetheart, he looks like he's still moving, what do you kids
think?"
Son: "Mom's right Dad, I saw him move too..."

BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!

Daughter: "Nice grouping Daddy!"

Close, but I wouldn't be caught dead with a Glock 22 (.40)... I would carry a sawed off 20gauge. I would only need one shot to put a hole the size of a basketball through your chest. Now thats a grouping!!!!

Remember that everything in Texas is bigger. It dosen't have to be better.... just bigger.

Oh!

You have taunted me a second time John Doe.

You keep poking and you'll draw back a bloody nub. You're just upset that fajitas are unavailable in your area. I understand the extreme loss you feel having to start each day without a breakfast taco. Having to rely on some lame womanly donut to get your morning going. Bah!

Canadians are not funny because they choose to be. They are just plain silly. It's hard to think straight on a diet consisting of beer, donuts, and moose.
