    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Who goes there?
    King Arthur: It is I, Arthur, son of Uther Pendragon, from the castle of Camelot. King of the Britons, defeater of the Saxons, Sovereign of all England!
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Pull the other one!
    King Arthur: I am, and this is my trusty servant Patsy. We have ridden the length and breadth of the land in search of knights who will join me in my court at Camelot. I must speak with your lord and master.
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? Ridden on a horse?
    King Arthur: Yes!
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You're using coconuts!
    King Arthur: What?
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: You've got two empty halves of coconut and you're bangin' 'em together.
    King Arthur: So? We have ridden since the snows of winter covered this land, through the kingdom of Mercia, through...
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Where'd you get the coconuts?
    King Arthur: We found them.
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Found them? In Mercia? The coconut's tropical!
    King Arthur: What do you mean?
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Well, this is a temperate zone
    King Arthur: The swallow may fly south with the sun or the house martin or the plover may seek warmer climes in winter, yet these are not strangers to our land?
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Are you suggesting coconuts migrate?
    King Arthur: Not at all. They could be carried.
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: What? A swallow carrying a coconut?
    King Arthur: It could grip it by the husk!
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: It's not a question of where he grips it! It's a simple question of weight ratios! A five ounce bird could not carry a one pound coconut.
    King Arthur: Well, it doesn't matter. Will you go and tell your master that Arthur from the Court of Camelot is here?
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Listen. In order to maintain air-speed velocity, a swallow needs to beat its wings forty-three times every second, right?
    King Arthur: Please!
    1st soldier with a keen interest in birds: Am I right?

    Bert speaks from experience, he is a long time cat owner, so if Bert says the cat pulled the trigger the cat must be guilty.

    P.S. Your edited version is much better, the last paragraph flows with the preceeding ones.

    99.99999% of the time when you hear some story about how someone dropped a gun (or their cat knocked it off something) and it discharged you are listening to a LIE.

    Handguns that discharge when they are dropped get recalled. If not the gun manufacturer gets sued out of existence.

    This guy was playing with the gun and shot himself and then put together this cock and bull story about his cat knocking the gun over.
    I am going to have to agree to the bryco/jennings not going off if dropped cause anyone who owns one knows better than to keep one in the pipe LOL. I own a P3AT and a P32 and I call BS as well. I hate to admit it but I have dropped my P3AT (never with a round chambered) I dont keep one in the chamber even when I carry it, and none of my guns are ever chambered in my house. If I dont have the time to rack a slide I am screwed anyway, so even if the story is true it is his fault for having a loaded gun on his safe were it could fall.
