I remember a punchline along the lines of, "I prefer my Claymore", and the joke was something to do with landmines?

I guess it could've been about swords?

Anyone remember the actual joke?

Any help gratefully received!

You've been asking this for at least eight years. hehe

Probably, every now and again an opportunity arises for me to use it, and my old memory fails me again!

What’s a ceramist’s favourite weapon?

This?

An American Marine, a British SAS soldier, and a Scottish Highlander are in a pub, bragging about their preferred weapons.

The American Marine pulls out his M4 rifle and says, "This is the finest assault rifle in the world. Lightweight, accurate, and with a high rate of fire, I can take down any target from 500 meters."

The British SAS soldier smirks, pulling out his suppressed pistol. "Subtlety is key," he says. "With this, I can slip in, eliminate the target, and be gone before anyone even knows I was there. Silent and deadly."

They both look at the Scotsman, who is quietly sipping his whisky. "And you, Jock? What do you use?"

The Scotsman straightens up and says proudly, "I prefer my Claymore."

The American and the Brit laugh. "A sword? You're bringing a bloody great sword to a gunfight? It's the 21st century!"

The Scotsman gives them a hard stare and says, "Aye. And it has a simple, helpful inscription written on the front: 'Front Toward Enemy'."

If it isn’t, this SHOULD be the punchline! It should also be spelt ‘ceramiscist’thumbup

Would an American Marine even know what a meter (SIC) is?

Maybe, thank you.

I seem to think the punchline was pronounced "I prefer my Clay more" but I could be wrong

Thanks for the replies so far

I wonder if all budding comedy geniuses have this problem?
