Our English and Canadian friends will like this. Tomorrow is my company's annual retreat. We have lunchtime activities so the day doesn't get too long and boring. This year we're going to a sporting facility. We were asked what all we'd like to do during lunch, the tally was made and this email was sent out.

Here's the breakdown of everyone's first choice for a lunchtime leisure activity at tomorrow's retreat.

As you can see, Skeet Shooting was the most popular choice. So if you happen to have a shotgun, please feel free to bring it with you tomorrow.

** names removed **

Billiards - 10

Poker - 10

Fishing - 8

Skeet Shooting - 15

Shuffleboard - 9

Just walk around - 7

Please bring your shotgun to work. Does anyone else think there's something wrong with that? I mean, seriously. I'll be playing poker, with my flack jacket and helmet on.
 
Skeet Shooting is for old farts. Sporting Clays is where it's at. Your company sucks.
 
Well I'm sure that's what they'll really be doing, they just don't know the terminology.

But you're off the point here. People I work with are bringing their SHOTGUNS to WORK.
 
I did some clay shooting last Saturday with my mates. One of my mates dad is the gamekeeper of all these fields and watching him shoot was amazing. Good sport I must say. :D:tup:
 
Ah yes, the traditional 'Bring your shotgun to work' day.


Where do you live, the backwoods of Alabama?
 
Reminds me of that Simpson episode "Marge gets a job", with that guy with the propeller hat, polishing his shotgun saying "I am the angle of death. The time of purification is at hand" :lol:

You're right, that's bad! Our company won't even take us paintballing for fear of the management getting shot!
 
For some reason, that doesn't bother me as much as the 7 people that just want to walk around. :confused:
 
Well, it was so unorganized that the skeetshooters were about the only ones who did what they signed up for. Everyone else just sat around and talked for a couple hours.

Probably demotivated by the seven people who voted for "walking around".

Skeet-shooting has all the major ingredients for fun:
  • holding guns
  • breaking stuff

Just don't add liquor to the equation unless you want to end up with a Darwin award!

The secret is to even out the alcohol in your body with marijuana. 👍
 
Basically they fling clay pigeons (or whatever target is used) into the air. The shooter is then supposed to try and shoot the pigeons, normally with a shotgun.
