Thread: .22 Subs too loud, CCI Quiets sold out, what about .22 shorts?

Well, I brought 4 packets of .22 ammo to try out: Aus Winchester subsonic 22 LR, Eley subsonic 22LR, Remington Green subsonic, and a pkt of CCI rapid-fire pistol shorts.
I had to buy them at the local H&F shop as my usual hunt shop had sold out.
I asked the grissly salesman if he had any CCI CB Long or any .22 Long cartridges. The conversation went like this:

H&F Salesman: Yeah we have a full stack of .22 Longs didn't you see them?
Me: I saw lots of .22 Long Rifle and that packet of Shorts but didn't see any Longs.
H&F Salesman: (Sigh...) Come with me (he then shows me the cabinet with the .22 Long Rifle cartridges)
Me: Those are .22 Long Rifle, I'm after Longs.
H&F Salesman: There are no cartridges called 'Longs', only Shorts and Long Rifle.
Me: Nah, there are Shots, Longs and Long Rifle.
H&F Salesman: Look here, I've been working for Hunting and Fishing for 12 years and there are only Shorts and Long Rifle there is no such cartridge as a 'Long'!
Me: Ok, ok...(it was 5pm and I couldn't be bothered educating him)...let me just pay for these four packets then I can call it a day.

This evening I will take them all out for a trial run for noise and accuracy. Should be interesting.
