There’s a wonderful Afrikaans idiom which goes, “Ugly is one thing, but stupid?” (The “stupid” is pronounced “stchoopid”, which makes it all the meatier.)
Which was my first impression when espying this little offer from PSA:
“UGLY” is for the gun; “STUPID” is for the schmuck who’d pay nearly three grand (or the non-sale four-and-a-half grand) for this foul thing.
I don’t care how well it shoots (we’ll ignore the 9mm Europellet because in this case, the chambering is irrelevant); this is not a gun that any man should be carrying, or competing with, or — guess who would — showing off to his friends along with his $100,000 diamond-encrusted Hublot wristwatch and $750,000 Lamborghini Astarigida*.
Ugh. I need to get to the range and shoot some nice guns. (see below)
*colloquial Italian expression for “erection”, i.e. “stiff rod”. It’s what all modern Lamborghinis should be named.
