* Three samurai are debating which of them is the most skilled with the sword. The first points to a fly buzzing around, draws his sword, swings, and sheathes it before both halves of the fly fall to the ground. The second samurai points to another fly, draws his sword, swings, and sheathes before the fly's body falls to the ground, followed by its wings some time after. The third samurai points to another fly, draws his sword, swings, and sheathes his sword. The other two samurai look confused, as the fly is still in the air... but realize its buzzing is suddenly much higher-pitched.

* ''VideoGame/Receiver2'' refers to this when discussing the Glock 17. Its lack of external safety means that a negligent discharge is much easier than with other pistols, so you shouldn't tuck one into your waistband unless you "really need help hitting those high notes."
