GUNMAN stops, purchases sandwich, proceeds on!

[hoosierdoc]

I heard on the news today the age-old phrase "gunman opens fire". As a board full of gunmen/women/people, Maybe we should work to remove the word gunman from only being associated with the act of firing at people?

I would consider myself a "gun guy" and I do lots of normal things every day. Should INGO release a press statement for each of the "where did you OC today" thread posts?

Gunman purchased lawn fertilizer
Gunman visited Evansville zoo (wait, that was covered)
Gunman takes family to state park

"Gunman opens fire" phrase search on google gets you 4.5 million results

And why don't we read more about the gunwomen opening fire?


It seems to have only happened once, in Germany:

Gunwoman opens fire at a German hospital < German news | Expatica Germany

Gunman paid his taxes

True, but there can be a vast distinction between "man" and "guy".


For instance, I am a wise man.


You, on the other hand, are a wiseguy.

you forgot one!

Also, how did you know how many pixels it would take to draw me with an open trenchcoat? Have you been talking to my pediatric urologist?

Ahh, but "why don't elephants like penguins" gives 14.4 millions hits.

Of course, that age-old question: "do mosquitoes pee" produces only 3.2 million results.

Kind of puts the old Google hit number in perspective.

You sure it's not wiseguy?

Gunman went to the BMV today, was polite and waited in line...

not true, I only got 2,930 hits. I used the quotes because I did a phrase search that I only wanted results with the phrase "gunman opens fire" so you put quotes around it. If you want all of the words but not in that phrase don't add the quotes, thus your 14.4 million results.

Click my link on the first post to see, then remove the quotes and run it again. Well that's weird, I did that and it got fewer results. I admit to being stymied on it, unless it's grouping same results into one. Hrm.

How about this one: Tens of thousands of Indiana gunmen & gunwomen did absolutely nothing offensive today... except, of course, offend the anti-gunners by their mere existence.

No, no, no... I'm saying google isn't familiar with "gunwoman" and wants to use "gunman", hence being stacked against "us" (guys). and I promise there are no pictures of me dressed as a girl that you have seen...
