I'll be 75 soon- just aced the EKG treadmill test at my cardiologists- cut and split wood on the farm we own, walk every day (in bad weather in Wal-Mart)- no smoking ever- and as Satchel Paige once so wisely said- "Avoid fried foods, as they angry up the blood"_ so I can carry a 7.5 lb. 12 gauge afield all day and not feel any excessive "pain or strain" Shots at pheasants today are few and far between here in MI- so when it is "show time" I go with the gauge and load that will drop the bird- "dead bang"--And as I have confidence in the 12's I own and shoot, there you have it.
As for the implied reference to the character Cliff Clavin (a Mama's boy) played quite well by actor John Rastusberger--I doubt he would know a 16 gauge from his left nut--or any other for that matter. The only reason I watched Cheers was to check out Kristie Alley's big boobs.
