Well, I mean, when you think about a dinosaur, it's like from a kid's perspective.
A dinosaur is like these really large, you know, monstrous animals roaming the earth.
And then you have a unicorn, which is basically just a horse with a horn.
It was about a group of five to seven people kind of standing around the keg just talking.
And somehow a discussion of endangered species came up in which I posed the question, is the unicorn endangered or extinct?
And basically there was a big gap of silence.
And then everybody laughed.
And then that laughter was followed by more silence when they realized I wasn't laughing.
And I was like, yeah, I, oh, God, unicorns aren't real.
Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I am.
