    When was it ever a good idea to mix crossbows and alcohol?

    The trouble with crossbow shooting is that it always ends up with quarrels…

    You always know that when a guy with a weapon and a drink says, “Watch this!” it is not going to be pretty.

    William Tell’s first stunt with an arrow and apple turned out much worse.

    Yes, good sirrah, it is a lovely crossbow. But I note that he has a crossbow, as does he, and there’s even a crossbow leaning up against that wall. If you want to impress me, or any of the ladies, you need to find something unique.

    She became “The Toast of Belgium”. Though she was only nine when she married the crossbow master, her wise mother approved fully. In years to come, she’d become the Annie Oakley of that weapon, and make a handsome living with the Cirque de Soleil…

    You have to check your crossbow at the bar if you want a drink.

    He soon replaced the wine glass with a mirror, to show how he could shoot behind his back; that’s when the trouble started.

    The crossbow isn’t loaded, but the people are. Crossbows don’t kill people, drunks do.

    After he had his drink, he promptly took his crossbow and shot himself in the foot…

    Gustav was the #1 crossbow-slinger in Belgium and everyone in the saloon knew it.
