A lousy one at that, uses a 44 magnum when a 22 is cheaper and quieter.

no, no Mike, a 22 sometimes doesn't even penetrate the cranium
a 44 magnum will get the job done for sure because well it's the most powerful handgun on the face of the Earth

And look at all the goop you have to clean off yourself afterward if you do
use the 44.

There's a big office open bay, and a fellow has a deer rifle trained on someone on the other side . He says to a manager next to him "Don't bother to fire Ferguson, Mr. Johnson, I can take him out from here. "

There was a firing squad. They were just taking aim at the poor soul to be executed when a house adjacent to the squadron went up in flames , and a lady yelled out "FIRE".

I know , it's not the best one in the world, but it comes through a little better when it's actually drawn out as a cartoon.

Or the cartoon about the man about to be executed by firing squad
is given one last cigarette to smoke and chokes to death on it
before they get the chance to shoot him
