So what were the 2 others doing with the rifle? They should have shot back!
Probably arguing over which one would use it.
“Betty, I think you should be the one to shoot this man. After all, I know how badly you feel about losing to me in the vote for head of the hairstyles committee on Tuesday evenings.”
“No Dorothy, you are still getting over having to move up to plus size dresses. Shooting this man really should be your way of dealing with the stress.”
