he'll need a new scope to go with it.
He'll shop and shop and shop for "the perfect scope", and order it; a smashing deal from the local gun smith/buddy.
When the scope is finally delivered, he'll be SO excited that he'll call all his friends! (Two, total.) His friends will be excited, too, because it's a new gun with the perfect scope!
They'll have to get together to try it out.
If the buddies are coming over to try out the new gun and scope, the man will need more beer.
So, while he's mounting the perfect scope with great precision and nerve-wracking holding of breath, you'll have to go to town to get the beer. It will not be the right kind, but it will just have to do, because when you return you'll find...
an informal shooting match going on in the back yard! All the buddies (two, remember) brought THEIR guns to shoot, too!
This will take most of the rest of the daylight hours and nearly all the ammunition.
They'll come in to the house for a beer and "snacks" (full meal) when they're finished.
As they're refreshing themselves, the man will start admiring one of his buddy's guns. The more he talks about it, the more he realizes...
He NEEDS it. Desperately.
So, for Christmas, you'll give a man a gun...
(Have you read the children's book "If You Give a Pig a Pancake"? Then you recognize the form of the story! This is loosely based on real-life events, details changed to make the story work. I would NEVER be able to give a man a gun, because I have no clue whatsoever about them...men OR guns.)
*You can plug in anything and make this story work. For example, I'm sure Tracileeg could say, "If you give a man a tractor..." and have the same sort of outcome....*
