subject: Women & Guns part 2/3

  What was technically wrong with the scene in _Thelma_&_Louise_ where
  the two women disarmed a Texas State Police Officer.
A. Real women would never do anything as tacky, tasteless, and
   altogether gauche as pointing guns at a man, let alone taking his
   icky, disgusting gun for their own use.
B. There is no Texas State Police per se, but rather a Department of
   Public Safety that includes a Highway Patrol; they do not authorize
   the .45 1911 auto for carry except by Texas Rangers; the ammo on the
   officer's belt was revolver cartidges in single loops, not
appropriate
   auto pistol ammo in magazines.
C. The dumb broads left a perfectly good shotgun clamped to the
   dashboards of the cruiser.
[D.  it wasn't a Texas State Police Officer... --regis]
  A mouse runs across the kitchen floor.  The proper response is to:
A. Climb onto a high stool and scream for a man to help you.
B. Call the exterminator.
C. Link up the belt feed to the M-60.
  You are discussing the depressing local crime statistics with your
  good-hearted neighbor, Ralph, who suggests that you buy a .25 caliber
  pistol for home defense.  You reply:
A. "Never! A woman who buys a gun has humiliatingly surrendered to the
   evil ethos of mindless macho sexist brute force!"
B. "An amusing suggestion, Ralph, but don't you think it's a little
   light for the purpose?"
C. "Only to plant in the dead hand of the next little weasel stupid
   enough to give me wimpy advice like that!"
  What is your reaction to the concept of a bra holster?
A. "Yeech!  It would be an obscene juxtaposition of the icon of death
   with the symbol of nurturing!"
B. "Uncomfortable and impractical, designed by males for females."
C. "Not a bad idea, so long as it doesn't get in the way when you
   reach for the MAC-10 submachinegun in your shoulder sling."
  Define "male."
A. The first syllable of "malevolance," which in turn is only one
   letter short of "male violence."
B. An individual of the opposite sex.
C. A quaint anachronism, once useful for protection of females, but
   rendered obsolete by contemporary firepower.
