I was driving home from a fantastically successful hunting trip, with a monster black bear packed into the back of my truck. The guy I was "truck-pooling" with had a nice trophy as well; he was wondering out loud if his wife would "allow" him to display it
in the basement (!) or if it would be relegated
to the garage!!!!
I chuckled a bit and said "Watch this", and as soon as we got into a phone coverage area I called my wife. I explained to her what was in the truck; she immediately suggested that I stop at the taxidermist on my way home, and then said she would accompany me back the next day to pick a pose for the life-size mount.
Not sure why, but he seemed to think I was gloating...
