They didn’t eat Grandma though, just their guides! I stand corrected!

Why Elmer, are you implying that I'm tight? 
May God bless America and those who defend her.

Fudd’s “Woodcocker”.
Note that Fudd doesn’t actually like to eat woodcock, so it’s all good.
Best,
Ted

There's also the issue of British English vs American usage on this side of the pond. It seems to me that I've heard the term "keeper's gun" (I think possessive) in the UK. The description seemed to be applied to a fairly basic boxlock nonejector, I think always a 12 bore, with such a gun often being what a gamekeeper would own. I swear, Larry, sometimes you are the master of making a pointless point outside the op's subject. But like the father said to the mom of the errant son, Mama, it's in 'im and it's got to come out." Smh... JR Larry made a perfectly valid point - when I saw the thread title I first thought it referred to low end gamekeepers' guns. Apostrophes, LGF. Apostrophes. Not a one in the op's title of his thread or the thread's text. Pesky grammar, always causing problems for those who ignore it. JR Given that the very first definition for "keeper" in my dictionary is the British definition and that "keeper" as something one keeps doesn't come along until later . . . Had the OP said "guns that are keepers" to start with, that would have solved the problem. As a writer of books and magazine articles about guns and hunting for almost half a century, I try to make sure my usage doesn't leave room for misinterpretation. But even editors can mess up perfectly clear references from time to time. I once referred to a "tiling machine" (a machine that lays tile) in an article . . . and an editor, attempting to be helpful, changed it into a "tilling machine." A couple farmer friends said they'd call one of those a plow. So would I . . . and "tiling" wasn't a spelling error on my part. I'm not sure if the "former professor" was a reference to me, but if so, English was not the subject I taught. I was a French instructor, and learned a lot about English studying foreign languages. My favorite English misunderstanding example, which is clear if written but not necessarily so if spoken: "I'm going to help Jack off a horse."

It was not a reference to you, Larry. I didn't know you had been a former prof, having thought you were always gainfully employed by the spooks.

Well this thread has gone in a direction I didn't anticipate. LOL
The world cries out for such: he is needed & needed badly- the man who can carry a message to Garcia

we knew exactly what you meant from the beginning Larry on the other hand I was an english major at miami university of ohio and over the years had numerous poems published usually in the form of a sonnet or sestina this was after I originally majored in the field of geology I loved having the ability to pick up a rock and know the exact minerals that it was composed of or looking at a fossil and knowing the age of it as you know I have always enjoyed your work in the field of hunting and gun collecting and by the way this is so much fun writing with no commas or periods maybe we should all do this more often then that way no one would be pointed out for their punctuation and everyone would be wrong making all of us write or is it right well you know what I mean
