[Cdt-l] Cdt-l Digest, Vol 95, Issue 7

[Jeff Jones]

Montana bear handgun joke:

Q: What's the perfect handgun to shoot a bear with?
A: One that's greased up and sights removed.  That way after you shoot 
the bear, when the bear takes the gun away from you and shoves it up 
your a**, it doesn't hurt so much.
