Guns and Tacos

French people like guns too.

Had a great experience at Top Gun Range yesterday.

Since the gun range is in the Galleria area, our customer demographic consists of precisely:

• 40%:  US citizens who enjoy shooting guns
• 40%:  Foreign visitors who are here for business or vacation and take the opportunity to shoot guns because it is not allowed in their country.
• 15%:  guys who are trying to impress exotic dancers they met on the nearby Richmond Strip, and ultimately fail.
• 5%: Folks who show up that we will never, ever allow to shoot guns at a gun range. I’m not sure why they show up.

Although foreign visitors  consist of  40% of the gun range demographic, there are none more fun to hang out with than the employees of Air France.

France means business.

Although I couldn’t understand a word they were saying, these three and two more stewards/stewardesses really enjoyed hanging out in Houston with a real cowboy such as myself. They have seen lots of guns in American and maybe French movies, but they have probably never had a taco.

The tragedy.

After they went shooting, the girl in the middle asked me if I had a rubber.

I thought she was being a really bold French person and I took it as a compliment, until I realized she was asking for a rubber band so that she could roll up her target and bring it home with her.
