Going Too FarEver had one of your mates go too far? Back when I was a teenager I went to stay with a friend in the country. We took his dog for a walk in some woods - which was fun.
We came across a breeding pen for the local pheasant shoot - which was interesting.
But then my friend broke into the cages, grabbed a pheasant, strangled it and proceeded to throw it around, only managing to rescue it from his dog's jaws seconds before a gamekeeper turned up to see what the hell was going on. Now, that was a bit too far...

You're who?I live in a small rural farming community that is generally very conservative. Earlier this year a farmer in his fifties died of cancer. His family - wife of 20 or so years, kids, in-laws, the whole lot, were obviously distraught and distressed by their loss. A huge funeral was held - all the locals turned up, including the grain merchant, machinery dealer, the lot - all the people that this very popular man had had dealings with over the years. The funeral was all going according to plan when a very nicely dressed, and attractive man stood up after the eulogies and said he wanted to add something. The dead man's wife and family all looked confused - they didn't know this stranger, but hoping for kind words they let him go up to the pulpit and say his bit.....The guy got up there and very calmly explained that he and said deceased had been lovers for years; they had a home together and shared their lives - as much as a married man, with children and a very public business life, could.....
Telling everyone at the funeral? Going toooo far!
