When we get older, we accrue less stories, but the ones we have? They're dandies. There so good, we just love to tell them again and again. It's fun. So next time you hear the story about that golf weekend with Bob and the stripper girl? Remember, it's for the teller's enjoyment, not so much yours.
Just laugh and say, "wow!" Be kind. Make their day.
