    I don’t get all the moose and ship references, but in my family we call this kind of thing a moose story.

    Back when my uncle was like 7, in fairbanks alaska, he came home from school and said he saw a moose. That’s nice, everyone agreed. And he walked right up to it. Oh did you? And punched it right in the nose. No, you didn’t though, did you?

    60+ years later he still maintains that happened.

        Yep, or so the story goes. There was some dispute as to whether he could physically reach a moose’s nose to punch it. And even more dispute as to whether he actually did.
