Przypomniało mi się:

A guy enters a gun store and asks for the owner to recommend a gun to
shoot up some cans, owner suggests the M1911 and the guy buys the gun,
thanks the owner and leaves the store.

A week later he comes back and says "I need a bigger gun to shoot up some
cans" so the owner suggests a shotgun, the guy buys the shotgun, thanks
the owner and leaves.

The following week the same person comes back and says "Listen...I'm going
to need the biggest gun you have to shoot up some cans" The owner is
confused and asks "Jeez...what kind of cans are YOU shooting?"

"Mexicans, Dominicans, Puertoricans and Africans"
