I have been a member of FR since 2001, and yes, of course, I know that it is a long-running joke. My point--and I do have one--is that it is an unclever, unfunny, non-sensical joke. It never made sense from the get-go, to wit, why would anyone transport his gun collection in a frigging boat? Jokes have to have some basis in fact that establishes what you're going to make fun of. And this one fails miserably in that regard.
And it has been repeated ad nauseum for years.
Have I made myself clear?
What if you lived on an island and needed to move them off of it, for some reason? Rent a helicopter? I’d need a Huey or Stallion and at $1,500-$3,500/hr, it’s much cheaper by boat.
You’ve made yourself clear but I don’t think its the message you think you are communicating.
BTW, It has nothing to do with the boat.
Yes, sir.

If I had to choose between a confrontation with the humor police and real life gun-grabbing police, I don’t know which would be more annoying.
