WTF America: Everything’s Bigger In Texas (Chapter 7)

WTF America: Nice Shootin’ (Chapter 6)
I’m not buying a gun so I can prevent a tyrannical government from crushing my freedoms, I’m not going to start carrying it around because I fear for my personal safety.

The story assumes that you know what a Kit Kat is, and I believe that most people do. Biscuit, wafer, chocolate candy confectionery. Snap them in half exactly in the center, between the Kit and the Kat. The come in bright red packages, and honestly they’re quite hard to miss. They’re familiar to many.

Smithwicks Pale Ale
