Extra Stupid Window Stickers

"How can I help you?"
them: "We want a gun."
"You looking for anything in particular?"
them: "I don't know. A gun. A handgun. Any handgun."

I hope the story didn't end with them buying a .38 Rossi revolver for $900 ("pandemic/collapse of society pricing").

Not a sticker but a sign in my Uncle's shop. No idea where he got it or what it means. mtmuley
It has to do with train box cars and switching them between trains. They uncouple a car or a few and send them rolling through a switch to a different train. It can get pretty harsh. No idea why they call it humping.

So a conductor stands on top of the hump, uncouples the car/cars and the switchman and brakeman are running between switches sorting cars as they free roll down the hill. Most hump yards are automated now though with just a conductor on top and automatic switches.
