Goodness! How will they address the haggis when all the knives in Scotland are banned? Or cut their meat for that matter. I assume this article was in MAD magazine?

Well...I've just been out for a walk in the blizzard and had a wonderful idea.

Let's issue a gun to everyone American when they graduate grade school. I don't know my handguns so I can't recommend a specific one...but something small and portable but that still packs a good wallop! Everyone....male, female, white, black, hispanic (legal only!), asian, native, middle eastern decent....everyone.

Think of the burden this would take off the courts....no more "he said...she said..." may the best...or at least the first...shot win! That annoying person in the grocery store who is talking on a cell phone....BAM! they won't be using that hand again!....those kids playing in your yard....the person who cuts you off in traffic...that dang door to door salesperson...the possibilites are endless.

Yes....forget about adequate healthcare...give EVERYONE a gun instead....
