funny story at longhorn steak house today
mrs boatr and i had to run to the big city of tyler to get a few things for the expectant new fridge.
well it was a bit near 1 pm and place was busy..
we were seated in a nice booth and across from us in the open area was a long table with what we saw were 8 smith county deputies , some in plain clothes and sheriff t shirts and a few others in uniform ( summer)
the 2 closest to us you could see their glocks and gear etc on the holsters belt
mrs boatr noticed the one on the end had an extended magazine vice the normal flush mounted and commented his pistol was bigger

...that killed me in side laughing.
she kept asking me why he would carry his service pistol with, what looked like an added 6 rounds or so.
i said he failed last qual shoot and is being punished so he can shoot more bullets hoping he hits something.
so we enjoyed our lunch and made up good reasons for him needing a junior gangster extending magazine
of course my inner sailor was begging to be let out, so i said if you want to know why or if he is a terrible shot, go over and tap him on the shoulder and whisper in his ear....ARE YOU A TERRIBLE shot ,

we were still eating as they all began to get up and go back to what ever deputies do in smith county seeing as 3rd were at lunch
so the deputy stood up and his buddy did as well and had to wait as the first guys shoes needed tying, here was our shot to get a laugh or be beaten... i said since he is bent over, reach out and pop him in the butt like old baseball game antics..


, mrs boatr gave me the look like i was about to be stabbed with the steak knife
so as the deputy finished and turned toward us, she said... can i ask you a question....... i immediately said.. she is about to embarrass you and probably me and your buddy.... he gave me a weird look, so i saved my wife and said, you have an extended magazine in your service pistol... (he gave me an odd stare... ) does that mean you are a bad shot and now your living the shame until next qualification time??/ he tried to say something smart.... but what came out was a laugh and his buddy took advantage..... and spoke up.. SEE I TOLD YOU < YOU SUCK


it was hilarious and they smiled and said have a nice day
