I like the old joke I heard my first season flying in Alaska...
New pilot shows experienced older bush pilot his new "bear" gun...a .44 magnum handgun. Old pilot looks at it carefully, feels the balance, looks down the sights and says, "Nice weapon, Jr., but I'd change one important thing."
"Oh yeah, what's that?", says Jr.
"Well, I'd shave off these front sights here"
"Heck, why would I want to file off the sights of my brand new pistol?"
"You'll wanna file them off," says Oltimer, "So when the bear takes the gun out of your hand and shoves it up your a$$ it won't hurt nearly as much!"
