Revision as of 23:26, 27 March 2001
In the US, there is a longstanding tradition of determining who gets to sit in the seat next to the driver of a motor vehicle. In order to claim that seat, one must "call shotgun" according to a set of standard rules.
To call shotgun is to, at minimum, yell out "shotgun" while approaching the vehicle. The specific rules are the subject of much heated but good natured debate. A number of websites claim to have the official rules, but clearly only a free and open consensus site such as Misplaced Pages has the moral and intellectual right to make that claim.
Therefore, by the powers vested in Misplaced Pages by the present King of France, the following rules are hereby decreed:
- the person nearest to the front passenger side door gets shotgun
- Same as above except when someone bigger can push them out of the way
- the only one allowed to carry the shotgun
- the person that is most accurate in hitting roadsigns at 40 mph or faster
- the person that can create the complete works of Shakespeare in Braile given enough roadsigns)
