Jhe888, I've got your formula right, that's 2gr/hooker. What about their employer? Is it customary for the employer to take a percentage of the each hookers share or does he procure additional amounts for himself? | |||

Wow. How did this guy think he would load in partial grains? Moving up to 3.2 grains would be really difficult, what with cutting those tiny flakes into fifths. Demand not that events should happen as you wish; but wish them to happen as they do happen, and you will go on well. -Epictetus | |||

When buying meat from said butcher, does he slice it with the grain, or against the grain? ______________________________________________________ Often times a very small man can cast a very large shadow | |||

Not exactly the same thing but in the general ball park...as a young boy I told my Dad that for Christmas I wanted a "twenty-two shotgun". He kind of chuckled and told me there wasn't such a thing. Fast forward to 1987. I was stationed in Germany and went to Frankonia-Jagd which is kind of like a high end Dick's or Cabella's. Anyway, I discovered that there WAS such a thing. It was called a Drilling. This particular one was a double barreled shotgun in 20 gauge with a .22 hornet barrel under the two shotgun barrels. The dollar was strong and IIRC it was over 3:1 at the time so I bought it for my Dad for Christmas. It wasn't one of the super expensive, high end versions that were so beautiful and all engraved and such but was pretty nice. It was more like the equivalent of our Sears brand gun. He LOVED it. To his credit he even remembered that he had told me that these didn't exist. It looked like this...  Dripping water hollows out stone, not through force, but through persistence. -Ovid NRA Life Member NRA Certified Basic Pistol Instructor | |||

I remember those drillings. Saw a BUNCH of them when stationed in Germany. My father in law was a German forester and I got to do a lot of hunting with foresters and civilian hunters. Shot a couple of those drillings as well. Very nice guns. AIR, even saw a couple with scopes mounted, but am pretty sure the rifled barrel was something like 8MM.

It's a common way of saying such a thing it may be lazy English but I don't care and am likely guilty of it along with many other folks in the shooting community. Call it slang or whatever you want but it's here to stay. !~God Bless the U.S. Military~! If the world didn't suck, we'd all fall off Light travels faster than sound, this is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak | |||

That is not slang. Slang is using "heater" for "gun" or calling your friend your "homeboy." Using "grain" in that way is bad grammar and poor usage, plain and simple. You can choose to use English well or not, but it isn't slang. The fish is mute, expressionless. The fish doesn't think because the fish knows everything. | |||

"Three hookers.....six.....grams." Got it. The "three grains of Bullseye" is credible to me just because we're used to using the word "grain" as a noun that describes a particular object rather than a unit of weight. That and the word "granule" doesn't just flow from the lips. BTW, does anyone other than gun nuts use "grain" as a unit of measure for weight any more? | |||

Wikipedia says grains are used to measure the weight of arrows (never heard that before), and also dentists use grains when measuring gold foil. Other than those two, I did not find any additional current references to the use of grains. | |||

if he is a Butcher, it is cutting against the grain, if he is not, he is either a new apprentice, or soon to be out of work, https://www.chesterfieldarmament.com/ | |||
