I suppose we all have our moments that seem impossible to live down. The ridiculous anecdotes your friends (or, in some cases, soon to be former friends) share over pints, or during wedding receptions.
Last Friday, I actually stumbled upon a little wedding party at the Blind Tiger. There were toasts, general merriment and I was reminded of an anecdote that I will perhaps never live down which -- coincidently -- also has to do with tigers.
When I first met my wife I made every attempt to impress her -- including stumbling horribly over my own words, To this day she she declares that I told her ... how a musket looked into my tent at the dead of night, and how I fired a double-barreled tiger cub at it.
