hey ma, I got a merit badge in waterboarding illegal aliens.
I ran into a group of about 15 Boyscouts in uniform
with their Scoutmaster (probably one of their fathers, I imagine)
at a gunnery range. As I was leaving, I showed them my guns
(I had c.5 or 6 of them with me, all of which were chosen for their beauty
and/or historical significance) and gave them $300.oo for ice cream and ammo.

NOT shoot at any Mexicans; its

They just saw you coming and hid.
Explain ?
You don't know joking?
I do, but jokes have logic to them; each has its own individual reasoning.
The lifeblood of a joke is its reasoning; that 's what makes it humorous.
In this case, I saw 2 possible avenues of logic.
One possibility is that thay were hoplophobes (at a gunnery range).
The other possibility is my appearance, or other dissuasive phenomenon
(e.g., malodorous, etc.)
Yet another possibility is that $300 were not enuf.
In other words, I did not know which way u meant it.
Counter-joke (or more like a humorous situation, anyway):
about 35 years ago, my cousin Norma 's husband was complaining to her
about some trivial failing of their son, whom he described to his mother
as being a son-of-a-bitch.
I inquired qua where that left my cousin, Norma.
The conspicuous question is how the speaker means it.
