The other day, we drove into a gas station.  I rolled down my window and asked the attendant to fill the tank up.  He tried to speak in English, so I humored him and spoke in English.  As the pump was filling my empty tank, I saw this dude with a rifle.  I asked this guy, "Why does he carry a rifle around?"  He acted dumbfounded and I knew he didn't understand.  "Why does that guy carry around a pistol?" He smiled and understood.  "He protects you."  he replied.  Then he smiled and said, "Don't worry, he don't shoot."  All my  concerns disappeared.
