I do love a good classical reference.

Look, I know this is a story of mostly local interest. I know this is from a second-rate tabloid newspaper, which has been covering it to excess.

But, wow, these people sound…bats–t crazy. I find it hard to pick out just one element to highlight how bats–t crazy they sound, though the horse’s head in the bed is certainly a favorite of mine. Then there’s the mysterious house fire.

Following the fire, recalled Tatyana’s friend, “The police were called to the house. Officers asked for Tatyana’s ID and there were four loaded guns in her purse. Police arrested her for gun possession.”

Two is one, and one is none. But what is four? I guess four equals two plus two, so four is two. And does she have back problems from carrying four loaded guns in her purse?

(I’m reminded of the old joke with the punchline, “Not a damn thing in the world, Officer.” If you haven’t heard that one, leave me a comment.)

Amazingly, that is not even the most shocking incident involving the couple and firearms. “Mark got arrested once,” said the friend, “because he was standing naked at the top of the driveway with an elephant gun. He had come after her with a knife and she had to run out of the house in her underwear.”

I have to wonder if the “elephant gun” was a real elephant gun, or if we need an “elephant gun” entry for the Journalist’s Guide to Firearms Identification, alongside the AK-47.

Also, is it just me, or are horse people as a general rule just…bats–t crazy? Not that I hang around the horsy set a lot, but I’ve seen more than a few horse cases on the TV court shows…

    I’d like to know the joke, if it’s not too much trouble.

    Police officer pulls over a woman for having a burned-out taillight.

    He asks her, “Do you have any guns in the car?”

    She replies, “Yes, officer. I have a 9mm in my purse, and a .38 Special in an ankle holster…”

    “Okay.”

    “…and I have a .357 Magnum in the center console, and a .45 automatic in the glove compartment…”

    “Okay…”

    “…and under the blanket on the back seat is a 12 gauge shotgun with an extended magazine, and in the trunk is an AR-15 with six magazines.”

    The police officer is stunned. “Jesus, woman, what in the Hell are you afraid of?”

    The woman smiles at him and answers, “Not a damn thing in the world, Officer.”
