The DBA at my old job used to keep a revolver with one bullet, and a bottle of evan williams in his cabinet. There would come many a time when he reaches for the drawer and opens it, seeing both. He always opted for the whiskey, but having seen some of our PRs, there were definitely times he lingered on the revolver.
This is a joke, btw. When's the last time you've seen a dedicated DBA lol
Gosh I hope you took some creative liberties with that story... a coworker having a loaded gun at the office would be creepy as fuck - even if it was just in support of a joke.
I made it up from another joke.
That gives me great comfort.
The 90s were a different time. Believe me, I used to work Dell tech support in the Win9x days…
