The First Day of Xmas

A mother was pleased with the card her son had made her for Christmas, but was puzzled as to the scraggly-looking tree from which many presents dangled, and at the very top, something that looked strangely like a bullet.

She asked him if he would explain the drawing and why the tree itself was so bare, instead of a fat pine tree.

"It's not a Christmas tree." he said. "It's a cartridge in a pear tree."
