->A tourist stays the night at a farmer's house, and in the morning, visits it with the farmer.\\
"See that barn? Built it up with my own two hands for a year. But do they call me John Barnbuilder? No."\\
A while later: "See those fields? I designed and dug the irrigation trenches myself. Took me two years to do it. But do they call me John Ditchdigger? No."\\
Later still: "See that flock of sheep covering the hillside? Started out with just two of 'em, and five years later I got damn near two hundred. But do they call me John Shepherd? No!"\\
The tourist asks "What should they call you then?"\\
"Anything! Anything at all! All the things I've done in my life, you'd think they'd have trouble choosing, but no!"\\
The farmer stays silent for a minute. "[[BestialityIsDepraved But you fuck]] ''[[BestialityIsDepraved ONE GOAT!]]''"

->Developing a game, as it turns out, is quite hard.
