Quote from: Marc on April 15, 2016, 01:47:10 PMGrowing up, I worked at a skeet/trap club, and we had a member known for tall tales (and I mean tall).No matter what happened to somebody, he had a story to beat it. Most of his tales were outlandish (including emptying a .243 on a charging water buffalo only to have it come skidding to his feet dead with every bullet hitting the center of the head and a hole that could be covered up with a quarter).Although entertaining to some degree, his outlandish stories irritated some people (as well as his having to top everyone's story).Come to find out, he grew up during the depression. No TV, no radio, and entertainment came at the dinner table with some storytelling. Every meal, everyone in the family would try to outdo everyone else with a whopper of a story... Although he ended up becoming very financially successful (enough to go on African Safari hunts), he never lost that habit of telling tall tales.This thread reminded me of him... Turns out, it is a good memory...
