Funny incident at work today

Everybody at my job (college bookstore) knows that I'm a gun nut, though none of them know that I carry. Today one of my coworkers came up to me and pointed at a customer and said:

"I think that he's got a piece, can you tell?"

So I figured that my coworker (who is familiar with ccw laws and such being a hunter) had seen the guy print or something and wanted me to confirm it, being the resident gun nut and all.

So I wandered over and kind of checked the guy out (discreetly). He was wearing an untucked shirt, couldn't see anything. The customer looked like a normal guy, If he was carrying he was being professional about it, I couldn't spot anything.

I went back over to my coworker and told him:

"I couldn't see if he had anything, but you can never tell, folks can get real creative with inside the waistband carry, or even belly bands and that sort of thing."

He just looked at me for a while real confused like he had no clue what I was saying. And finally,

"What the hell are you talking about? I just wanted to know if you thought he was wearing a hair piece."

Whoops. :D

Just goes to show that we gun enthusiasts tend to think in a slightly different language than most folks. To me a piece is a gun.

Similar thing at lunch with my boss a couple of days ago. Were talking about eyesight (mine's very sharp with my glasses on, his is below average even with contacts). I said something about how I thought that it was mostly my sharp eyes that made me good at highpower rifle competition. He said, "Have you ever tried to hit a baseball?" I said, "At what distance?" He paused for a second and then started laughing.
 
I had a similar thing happen to me last week at work. A co-worker and I were in a meeting with a potential vendor when he said, "I'm going to have lunck with XXXXXX and pick up a Sig".

I thought, "Cool!", a shooter!

Um, he, ahhh meant he was going to get a signature for a travel plan request :rolleyes:.

Slightly off topic but this same man and I ended up going to Seattle for a project. As we were exiting, you guessed it, a Starbucks (him not me!) we over heard about 4 sheeple yuppies talking and we both heard the phrase, "Michael says he migh homeschool his boy! Man, that's crazy - he won't get any type of social skills if he does that to him."

It was all we could do to keep our mouths shut. :rolleyes:
