It’s Almost Like a Blonde Joke

Here’s a funny story. There was this guy who bought an AR10 rifle over the Internet. It was his first AR-type rifle. When it arrived, he looked for charging handle and couldn’t find it. He was very disturbed, and he called the manufacturer to find out if it was normal to ship AR-type rifles without charging handles. Maybe it was a customizing thing, so people could buy their own handles.

The employee who answered the phone was distressed and said this was like selling a Chevy truck with no windshield. They did not sell guns without charging handles. He asked for the dealer’s name and asked the buyer to call back if he couldn’t clear it up.

The buyer left a voicemail for the seller, asking if he knew what had happened to the charging handle. Then he went to look at the gun again, and he pulled on a thing at the back of the gun, and the chamber opened. Suddenly he realized the charging handle on this kind of rifle was in the back. And he felt pretty stupid, and he left another voicemail for the dealer, explaining that the first voicemail was some moron who sounded just like him and liked to play really bad practical jokes.

I’m sure glad I’m not that guy.

Yes, sir.

Glad.
