“It wasn’t a story! It’s all true!” “As long as they’re amusing, what’s the difference between real events and good stories? A lot of people spend their whole life eating, sleeping, defecating and doing nothing else. If you told me every little thing they did, every chicken feather or garlic peel in their pointless, boring lives, every vegetable and chunk of tofu, their every pee and poo, you’d bore the Hoary Urchin to death.”
