9DBE: To sleep in

Brother: Dad, can I get brass knuckles?
Dad: What for?
Brother: Just in case a boar ever comes up to me, I don't have to shoot it. I can just punch it in the face.
Dad: Are they expensive?
Mom: Is what expensive?
Me: Now that AJ has a credit card, he wants to buy things of questionable legality.
