You are an asshole. I like you.

This is hilarious and made me laugh.
Because if it was me, as soon as I gained control of the gun I would have shot the guy who gave it to me. (Thinking, "this will distract the other perp long enough for my husband to disarm him and also fire.") So, at the point of the blank, My husband would've said "Well Done." And my kids would've stand back up and said, "Nice."
So I was completely surprised by the humorous ending of this obviously staged interaction for comedic effect.

Maybe the authors of that book just made it really boring on purpose.

Honestly, I'm HOPING this entire election is just a very well played game of "Pay no attention to that man behind the curtain." Who's really parading these idiots? Is America Really THIS much of a joke?
