Shopkeeper: soon the people in this town will be so paranoid and hateful to each other I will sell them all guns and watch as the inevitable violence outbreaks.

Me: this is America, we already have 1.2 guns per person (counting kids) and there was a shooting behind McDonalds just last week.

Shopkeeper: well, er, this will be so bad not even the police can stop it.

Me: way ahead of you. The police are already regularly shooting innocent and unarmed people and one was just in a shootout with an acorn.

Wait, please explain the acorn thing. That's a joke right?

A Florida deputy has resigned after mistaking the sound of a falling acorn on his car for a gunshot, prompting him to open fire at an unarmed suspect.
