Then there’s the story teller getting bogged down in the details. My wife was telling a story about something that happened while she was eating yogurt. For some reason, she thought it was critical to get the flavor correct, only she couldn’t remember the flavor. I finally told her to make something up as there was no way I could verify what she said. Maybe I shouldn’t have suggested horseradish flavored yogurt.
On the other hand, Mark Twain’s, most famous short story, The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County is all about a man who insists on including every irrelevant detail. So maybe it still comes back to how you tell it.

This is one of the few BI strips I remembered perfectly the second time I saw it. Maybe because the examples flow so well with the instructions.
