I once was at a party where all in attendance were Republicans. Naturally, the subject of guns was raised. So I told a joke that went something like this:
“Well, I think everyone with a gun should be shot.”
There swept over the assemblage a brief astronomical silence. Even though the joke wasn’t all that hilarious, they got mad. When I explained the joke to them they got even more annoyed. One said that he got it; yet I wasn’t sure:
”The person shooting the gun-persons would have to be shot as well,” I said slowly, “then someone would have to shoot the person who shot that person, then someone would have to shoot that person, then on and on, ad infinitum, till the ridiculousness was realized. -- Terry Gresham
