Gum or Shotgun

What's the cool thing about bringing a pack of gum or a shotgun to school?

When you pull one out everybody wants to be your friend. :)

Experiment

The joke plays on the dark humor of school violence. It juxtaposes a harmless pack of gum with a dangerous shotgun, suggesting both get the same reaction: people wanting to be your friend. The punchline subverts expectations by implying that fear can make someone popular.
