Madird bakerys don't sell guns

On a trip to buy bread today I was offered deadly weapons buy the baker in broad daylight. I asked for 'dos barras de pan' (loaves of bread) and she replied '¿Quieres dos pistolas?' (do you want two pistols?). I don't no what was more shocking, her asking the question or the fact that I immediately responded 'Si.'


As It happens she wasn't about to sell me illegal arms over the counter, turns out that in Madrid, and Madrid only, baguette-like loaves of bread are referred to as 'pistolas'... What a shame.
