In a Roswell, New Mexico grocery store, a loaded semi-automatic Rock Island Armory .38 Super and seven rounds of ammunition were found in a packed case of frozen ribs.

Each cartridge is a round of ammo. So what would a square of ammo be?

Either the diameter of the round of ammo squared, or the diameter / sqrt(2), depending on whether the square of ammo is circumscribed or inscribed on the round. ;)

Why turn it into the police?

I find a gun laying around somewhere, no way I'm passing it up. It's free and unregistered. And nobody knows

You and I think alike metmom, that bad boy would’ve been in my shop, barrel diamond honed along with the firing pin face faster than Sheldon after a pot of coffee.

So what would a square of ammo be?

4, 9, 16, 25, 36.

Unless it's hollow point, then it would be 8, 12, 16, 20, 24...

I would look twice at the ribs before I bought any.

Nobody has ever designed a “square bullet” to be shot from a “square gun”? Clearly that would not work with rifles, but a pistol?

Pork the one I love?

The answer to that depends upon whether it’s a setter or pointer...and if you live in Germany or not.

Obviously, we need to ban meat and turn vegetarian. After all, vegetarians are and always have been tolerant, wise, just, diversity-minded non-violent people. Y’know, other than Hitler.

Thanks Slings and Arrows.
