You do not have to explain your jokes. It's just that this one didn't
work.
Every one is familiar with the famous sign "The Buck Stops Here." I
just explained to you why your magnum attempt at jocularity was off
target and thus misfired.
Now, try to keep your powder dry.

Doh.... I have to explain my jokes now?
OK, but just for the hard of thinking:
(i) 'The buck stops here' http://www.trumanlibrary.org/buckstop.htm
(ii) You said: 'because of this stupid accident, the president and the
VP will probably not be able to go hunting anymore'
I was riffing on this by suggesting that Bush had firmly indicated
that
Cheney will fire no more buckshot.
Even if he did only (right-)wing Whittington.

Hmm. Seems Cheney is not the only one with an itchy trigger finger :-(
