My grandpa said to me son,' there comes a time in every mans life when
he stops bustin' knuckles and starts bustin' caps and usually it's when
he becomes too old to take an butt whoopin'.
I don't carry a gun to kill people.

world.

myself for failing to be prepared.

not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon.

crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess.

Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to
take an ass whoopin'.
