And he ain't aiming, he's pointing.

PAO puke: "Hey Joe, did you take out the sniper in that burning building over there?"

Joe: "Sure thing, bud."

PAO puke: "Show me how you did it so I can get a photograph. I'll put you in all the news papers. You'll be famous over night!"

Joe: "Sure thing, bud!"
