Did you read the part about the old guy talking about "Playing Tiger", back in the mid 1800s? How because there were way too many "spare" bachelors in the areas (like him), they all used to get together, get drunk and play games like "Tiger", which was basically them taking all the furniture out of a room, turning the lights off and then hunting a guy elected Tiger, using real guns? He was shot in the arms once, but only because he slipped--they usually made sure to aim where they thought people's legs would be. "Were all your amusements like this?" the interviewer asks; "No," the old man replies, "most were more what you would expect."
