it's been said that guys with big guns suffer from a lack of confidence in thier masculinity. I have a Colt Anaconda 44 magnum myself, hopefully not for the aforementioned reason
I sure hope that's not true, I carry a Marlin 45-70 guide gun!

You bought that just so you could
pretend it was my .458 Lott

(Don't get tundra and me started on firearms....we'll go on for hours...mention hunting and we REALLY will go on for hours....did I mention I just got back from a successful moose hunt?) Anyhow, we won't go in to how many large bore firearms I own...some guys gotta have the biggest motor, biggest plane, biggest 4-wheeler, fastest snowmachine, I go for really big guns

OK, Back on topic:
Airplanes and honestly all vehicles are female. Many a time I've patted a dash board or panel and said "Easy sweetheart, good girl". Remember if it's got t1ts or tires it's gonna give you trouble! (Strangley enough one of my sisters says "If it's got testicles or tires, it's gonna give you trouble"....hmm...go figure
