Picture this: a crowded bar buzzing with chatter, glasses clinking, and the occasional burst of laughter. Suddenly, the door swings open, and a man storms in, waving a Colt 1911 pistol in the air. The room falls silent. Everyone’s eyes are on him as he bellows, “I have a .45 caliber Colt 1911 with a seven-round magazine plus one in the chamber, and I want to know who’s been sleeping with my wife!”

The tension is thick, the kind of moment you’d see in a Quentin Tarantino movie. But before the man can take another step, a calm voice from the back of the room shatters the silence: “You need more ammo!!!”

And just like that, the room erupts into laughter.
