Freckled, shaggy-haired, tall gangling, young mountaineer entered the

general store, plunked down $1.50 and said to the lady clerk:

“The girl my cousin’s marrin’ tomorrow wants a pair of Nylon stockin’s,

size nine, to wear at the weddin.’

“What gauge?â€

Asked the clerk.

“Gauge?†he echoed blankly. “She didn’t say, ma’am, but her pap’s old

shotgun looked like a 12-gauge – if that’ll help any.â€
