“Any chance this doesn’t end in more violence?”
What? And violate tradition?!
Tradition! Tradition!
Here in our little town of ibn Kulub we all have our little disputes. For example, Mahmud here once sold an AK47 to Bassam over there that only had a range of 20 meters.
Tradition!
It was 20 meters! It was 40! It was 20! It was 40!
You’re 40 meters away, so let me see if it works on you!
I’m 20 meters! 40! 20! 40! Ratatatat! OK. Now somebody measure it.
It’s 40 meters.
Tradition! Tradition! Without our tradition, we’d be as shaky as...as a sniper on a rooftop!
