MIchael was telling a story about his army service. Probably involved Turkey. Joseph stopped what he was doing.

"You was in the army?"

"Yes, Joseph."

Stunned, very impressed pause.

"Did you have a sword?"

"No. No sword."

Puzzled pause.

"Did you have a shield?"

"Nope."

Puzzlement deepens.

"Did you have a gun?"

"Yes. I had a gun."

Relief. Back to Legos, where everyone has a sword, naturally.
