Cousin Slim, I'll tell you the price of mine if you tell me the prices of yours.


It ain't right you know, with you trying to get me to whimper and Forty trying to get me to blush.

Beretta Premium Giubileo II, 12 gauge.

I called Beretta for the MSRP. The kind lady on the other end had a heavy accent. She called it a "Jubilee."

"Thirteen hundred seven hundred dollars," she said.

"Pardon?"

"Thirteen thousand seven hundred dollars," she corrected herself.

$13,700.

Dang, I have good taste in shotguns. I can't even pronounce the name of it, much less afford it!

[Forty Rod]

You may not be aware that I have only owned one car that exceeded that amount. 

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

The house where I grew up cost my parents $3300 more than that and it was a four bedroom rambler on a nice lot.

Bernardelli Brescia or Italia.

Very nice hammerr guns going for under $5,000 barely used.  They aren't being imported anymore unless someone has picked up where Stoger dropped off.

I've been trying to buy a Brescia from a friend who, for reasons known only to him, has decided he'd rather have the gun than my friendship.

Dirty rotten scoundrel.

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Sounds like he might be a relative of yours, Forty!



AnnieLee

[Forty Rod]

Naw!

All of my kin are disreputable, NOT disthpicable.

What kind of mangy cur would refuse to sell me a fine shotgun for a solid hunnert bucks?  He ain't no morals at tall.

[Trinity]

Well, you're Forty's brother Trinity, why not??

Oh, and here's a pic I promised Slim back in May:

<cough> Thirteen- <hack> Thou- <hack><cough><cough><cough> !!!!!!!

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

Aye, Trinity, I made the same half-strangling, half hacking sound when she corrected herself. She understood and laughed.



AnnieLee

[Trinity]

I still haven't recovered!

Kinda makes my Stoeger seem inadequate!

[Joyce (AnnieLee)]

I got mine out of the safe, hugged it and gave it a good wipe down.

"Goooooood Stoeger, thank you!"

[Trinity]

I'm a redneck.  Mine's leaning over in the corner. 

[Four-Eyed Buck]

My two Stoegers are in the safe. Annie, ya gonna cut the barrels on that new shotgun?..............Buck
