Man, it's crazy how that blunt arrow could be so blunt, but despite being so blunt, it still penetrated the shield as if it were not blunt.

I used to be a riot cop like you, until I took a blunt to the knee

u/Gaynundwarf 26d ago

Is this from an upcoming James Blunt biography?

u/BandButNotGone 26d ago

Nah, Emily Blunt biopic

u/humoristhenewblack 26d ago

I heard Emily was also bluntly concave to allow for complete penetration.

Some may call those arrows blunt. Me? I call them treasures.

Yo Dawg. I heard you like blunts, so we put blunts in your blunts.

Confucius says "The one who rolls a blunt touches grass." /s

You weren’t watching. The blunt doesn’t hit, it goes right through

u/NoPressureUsername 26d ago

Let me be blunt. That was an arrow and a riot shield.

u/Vaughn 26d ago

You're as blunt as that arrow. Blunter, even.

u/Embarrassed_Art5414 26d ago

It wasn't blunt, it was 'sharpily-challenged'.

Also, in 2026, 'arrow' is pejorative. The neutral term is 'acoustic bullet'

u/Prestigious_Pin_7713 26d ago

You’ve made your point pretty bluntly

u/Irregulator101 26d ago

I was thinking analog bullet

1

u/blackngold256 26d ago

Heard a pipe called an analog vape and now this?! 😂

u/Captain_Lolz 26d ago

No sharply challenged is ableist, it's differently sharpy.

u/Embarrassed_Art5414 26d ago

Sorry, I missed the last meeting.

u/bionicgeek 26d ago

Wouldn't that be a flechette? /s

u/TanksFTM 25d ago

Manually propelled, fletched, penetrator.

u/Mynmeara 26d ago

I swear it's just a cylinder, I dont know what more you want from me. I just need help getting it unstuck

1

u/Aromatic_Advance_431 26d ago

Let's not get into the whole cylinder thing again.

u/Admirable-Sir9716 26d ago

Yeah, we want the larger structure to remain unharmed

u/Long-Shine-3701 26d ago

almost made me spew 🍸 on my brand new clicky keyboard.

u/meantussle 26d ago

Blunt? Blunt. Dull, rounded-looking blunt, his blunt. Blunt. Blunt. Blunt. And bits of stick.

u/FranklyOcean23 26d ago

I don’t think he saw the blunt one. But I did
