You're a lot tougher with the PPK than I was. I had a PPK/S but didn't care for the heavy trigger pulls & it always bit me on the web of my hand with two sharp lines when the slide worked back & forth.I’m afraid that one wouldn’t fit in my garter, lol. Tell me you’re not serious..
So, I got rid of it. It was my only .380.
Classic pistol, but didn't fit into the herd.

As I tell ‘em at the range. I didn’t show up to miss the target.
So, you’re telling me that all i gotta do to hit the target is say, “i didn’t show up to miss the target.”?As I tell ‘em at the range. I didn’t show up to miss the target.
Cool! I’ll see if that works tomorrow.

Too much fiber! Or not enough. I don’t know now. Either way change your drawers and shower up before dinner.

Never shake a martini. It's not a baby.Time for a Martini !!
Shaken, not stirred
Stirred 63 times and strained properly. Shaking bruises it and muddies it. A martini should be clear and very cold.
What happens at 64 stirs?Never shake a martini. It's not a baby.

And it will settle out about 20 seconds after its shaken.. stirring mixes and it will settle after about 20 seconds. The ingredients are not equal weight and will settle immediatelyNever shake a martini. It's not a baby.

For a guy who sells high end liquor for a living you sure don't know how to make a martini.
Too much James Bond I think. By the way, Bond did NOT drink martinis. He drank what we refer to as a kangaroo martini. There is no vodka in a martini.
Shaking bruises the gin. Everyone knows that.

You drink your very cold martini.
The 63 stirs is a me thing. OCD. Stirring makes the martini cold and it changes the make-up of it due to the amount of ice you allow to melt into the tumbler
Drink it quick then. Chug chug chug!!

Gin is bottled under high pressure hoses into the bottles from a distillation holding tank. As with all spirits. Wine even. It then gets tossed around like luggage by warehouse workers on forklifts and retail goons stocking it on the shelves. .. should I continue …

Let’s see - listen to my great friend, a man who knows of which he speaks when it comes to libations or listen to a globe trotting author and ladies man who did that when he wasn’t doing his day job as a spook?Never shake a martini. It's not a baby.

It seemed so easy in my head before I typed it out.
We can still be friends right?

Urban legend ? Not sure too many urban people have a clue or a care about what makes a good martini and what makes a great martini. My guess is most of them think a martini is made with vodka.Complete myth. Urban legend.

Of course Churchill just poured some gin in a glass and raised it in the general direction of France. That was a perfect martini to him. I've had many martinis made by many skilled "Mixologists". None of them make a better martini than I do. Stirred, 63 times.
So it's all relative. I can tell you this, when you are waiting for your cocktail and the bartender comes up to you and asks you what is in a martini, just order a Guinness.
