This is my rifle. This is my gun.

One is for shooting and one is for fun:
Distracted callers unsure what naked walker had in hand

WHITNEY POINT, N.Y. - Did the naked guy have a big gun or just a big stick?

Police in upstate New York aren't sure. State troopers were sent to search for a naked man with a gun along Interstate 81 north of Binghamton, after cellphone callers reported seeing the guy.

Police say one caller said the naked man was carrying a shotgun, but another reported he was using a walking stick.

Police say a search of the highway turned up neither the man nor the gun.
A quick glance at this tends to make most people think that this is no more than a prank, but my first thought was: Are they being tested, probed, timed for reaction?

But then again, this is just me...
