[Wayne Campbell] A gun rack? Sha, right. I dont even have A gun, let alone many that would necessitate an entire rack…What am I gonna do with a gun rack? [/Wayne Campbell] 😃 [sub]Given the constant arguments about this topic, I thought I’d try to bring some levity to the boards today. Y’all have a nice day.[/sub] ---

Heeeee. I’d forgotten that line. Everytime I make a mistake on my computer, it says “Are you mental?”. I love Wayne. Uses for a gun rack: [ul] [li]A storage space for unusually large and mishappen spice jars.[/li] [li]Somewhere to hang bags of takeaway food on your drive home.[/li] [li]To fool other people into thinking that not only are you a gun owner, but rather than put them on the rack you have them _stored mysteriously about your person_.[/li] [li]Paint it and hang flowers from it. Lo, you make some kind of statement. All will bow down to your wisdom.[/li] [li]Pin a sign to it that says “Are you looking at my rack?”[/li][/ul] Fran ---

Everbody knows that gun racks are for fishing poles. Dipshits. ---

Whattheheck. Gun racks are made for transporting boom poles for microphones… what’s with the violence theme? \<–wandering off, munching brownies, sipping decaf tea… ---

I used to use mine to carry a golf umbrella. Then I got tired of that and bolted them to the side of my workbench to hold pipe clamps. Are they really suitable for holding **evilbeth?** I’d like to see that. 😃 \<—(_evil grin_)
