everytime I hear someone on the news talking about gunfire everyone says "I heard these loud pops, it sounded like fireworks" that makes me crazy, I don't think gunshots sound like fireworks at all.

One bright day in the middle of the night,
Two dead boys got up to fight.
Back to back they faced each other,
drew their swords and shot each other.
A deaf policeman heard the noise
and ran to save the two dead boys.
And if you don't believe it's true,
go ask the blind man, he saw it too.

No more cliche than "All my guns were lost in a boating accident."

That got old after the first 50 times I heard/read it. And, it never shows any signs of dying.

"All my guns were lost in a boating accident." will not be down for breakfast.
