My comment above was meant as a joke. 
But Iām glad you added to the story which clarified things.
Whenever an old co-worker (and now neighbor) and I talked about some of the stuff that went on when we worked together years ago, I always had a lot more to tell him than he could tell me. He left the job after 10 yearsā¦ me 20 years. He would always finish our conversation with, āPeople would have to believe what you say because no one can make up this kind of $#itā - and then laugh.
There used to be two older āgentlemenā who used to talk about their time spent during WWII. They were sitting together having lunch and at the next table I sat with another employee. One guy was telling the other how he didnāt know how to swim and was terrified of the ship ride across the ocean. He said he was sea sick most of the time. The other guy - and Iām trying to spell these words as they were pronounced - asks him if he saw any daltons. The other replies, "No, but I saw some porkisis. The guy sitting with me choked on his sandwich as he burst out in laughter. I had to perform the Heimlich maneuver on him. 
Those two guys always gave us a good laugh.
