“What happened when the two bullets got married?”/“They had a BB.”

A riddle about bullets is: 
   
Q: What happened when the two bullets got married?
A: They had a BB.

     
“BB” sounds like “baby.” The joke has been cited in print since at least 1972.
   
     
Wikipedia: BB gun
A BB gun is a type of air gun designed to shoot metallic ball projectiles called BBs (not to be confused with bearing balls), which are approximately the same size as BB-size lead birdshot (0.180 in or 4.6 mm in diameter).
