Yeah, he probably doesn’t want the bed all that much, but saying that he does will strengthen his bargaining position…

…& look at that – he got a free bottle of “Maker’s Mark” out of the deal!

Nothing wrong with a little character interaction, that’s what makes them grow with the readers.

I sure hope they haven’t found an elk convention center!

Hohohold on thar, Baba Louie! my late Dad was an Elk, my high school graduation party (June, 1962) was at the Elks’ Temple in Sacramento, and two of me besties are Elk. Then there’s Ann Elk, and the rest of her ilk. It ain’t the Elk, it’s the verdammte Moose yagotta watch.

@Brother Parvus, no offense, I’m sure there are many Elks among my deer friends.
Brother Parvus
OhByTheWay, what we call elk, folks in Europe call Wapiti; what we call moose is actually (genetically) elk.

@Brother Parvus, I am reminded of GB Shaw’s “America and England are two countries separated by a common language.” Well it’s often that words obscure more than clarify.
Brother Parvus
Vive la difference!
