I disagree about the brevity thing... Hey, stories ain't like unit pricin'... Ain't about getting the best bang for yer 5 minute buck... Somethings just take longer than 5 minutes... Ask any woman... They'll straighten you out (no pun intended)... I mean I was fishin' once and caught me a 300 pound mudtom... Ornery critter... But that ain't the story... The story takes about 10 minutes to tell and if you leave out the innards then the ending don't make no sense... Okay, I'll prove it... The story ends with my Cousin Rufus askin' "How will we find that fishin' hole next time"... Mean anything to any of ya'lls... Well, heck no it don't... No innards... Good story is like good wine... You drenk enough and.... No, that's another story... What was I gonna say???... Nevermind...
