Hey, ain't nothin' wrong with some time spent sittin' aound playin' "can you top this?"
You've never sat around a campfire at night, chewing on a bite of snakekiller, while the laws of logic and reality were suspended? And, of course, truth lay bleeding on the ground. Just imagine a campfire in the middle of the gunshop floor. And too, think of how much those ignorant, blowhards would gain from your experiences.
Folks that take themselves too seriously tend to use a lot of laxatives in my experience.
