Which is really ironic, as my late father is the formal registered inventor of the Folding Crossbow.

No, this one isn't a folding crossbow, but it does seem powerful enough to potentially be deadly. It's raining today so I'll have to wait for a good weather day and find an old used slab of wood for target practice.

Oh, leave off. You're just jealous he got a crossbow.

I mean look, it turns out I can’t even spell coincidence so I’ll vacate my moral high ground

In fairness I said jealous when I meant envious. The moral high ground will be turned back into wilderness at this rate

If you hadn't pointed it out, I'd have no idea that my brain had corrected it.
