Not a fan of the phrase. If we're to the point of throwing guns in the water (literally or figuratively), then it's too far gone and we deserve the fate bestowed upon us.
And the burial vault people...."time to start burying my 'salt raffles". I used to ask them if they do decide to bury them because they are afraid someone was coming to take them, could they please show someone else where they buried them? Preferably someone with the stones to USE them when that time came?
