It seems to me that people tend to prefer to believe what they want to be real or true, despite evidence to the contrary.

When what you believe is refuted by evidence, you are faced with a choice.

Now, now... we all know a dragon doesn't show up unsuspected. It arrives conveniently—always, it seems, one day after the dragon slayer comes to town

Technically, a dragon is a flamethrower. And based on modest's totally correct observation, the Moonman and I should each get a shot of tequila.

Re: Riddles

the unsuspecting are the victims and not the dragon , but yes, a dragon is a flame thrower of sorts and far be it from me to leave Modest out- so a round of drinks for all-bottoms up cats!
