Several years ago at the show I set up at, a guy came by and dropped a Marksman BB pistol on my table and said: "its yours". I proceeded to check it out to make sure it was empty, including cocking and firing it several times into my wiping rag. I then told the other guys in the 4 table square we share that I had a Marksman like this when I was a kid and managed to shoot myself in the hand with it. I then proceeded to demonstrate how I accomplished that feat by cocking the Marksman, holding up my opened hand, and, at a range of about 2 inches pointed the muzzle at my palm and pulled the trigger. When the laughter stopped, one of the guys picked the BB up off the floor and presented it to me to keep forever as an example of complete stupidity.
