So I was in the gun shop today getting some ammo for my husband. And up on one of the shelves behind the counter, I spy a very shiney, new 6P. Well because I know the owner so well and he has learned to just indulge me, I went behind the counter and snagged up the 6P and turned to the owner and said, "I want this!". It was a brand new 6P - Original in gun metal grey. Beauty!!
So Mehdi (the owner) says to me, "You want that?" and I told him that yes, I wanted to buy it for my son for his upcoming birthday. He asked me, "Well is he worth that much money?" and I told him that no, he wasn't but he'd appreciate it anyway and take good care of it. He laughed, of course and then asked me, "Seriously... do you want to spend that much on a flashlight for him?".
At that point, my husband was rolling his eyes and said, "You should see what's in her purse!". And with that, he started digging through my purse and pulled out my new E2e. The other customers in the shop came over and started "oooo"ing and "aaahhh"ing it. And Medhi was VERY impressed!
Then I told him that I had an L4 coming on Monday. He asked what that was and I told him what I knew. At this point, I was still behind the counter and I had the attention of every guy in the shop... it was pretty cool... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
So then Medhi said to me, "You should work for Surefire!"... at which point my husband rolled his eyes again and said, "She just about does already". /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif Everyone looked at me and Medhi said, "Really? ... How much can you get an M6 for?" I told him I'd get back to him on that... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
It was a fun experience and I have all of you guys here to thank. See? I AM learning stuff from you all!! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
