You know you're in the fun religion when your ecclesiastic superiors tell you to up your card shark skills.
"Gee" with a hard G as in geek, then "us." Stress on the first syllable.
Assuming you're referring to the corporate level management, I think you misspelled "euthanized."
Unfortunately this one actually happened in Florida. Police arrested a guy who, among other things, someone had said was in possession of something that "looked like a pistol with a suppressor." After searching the guy and finding no such weapon the cop put the guy, handcuffed, in the back of his cruiser. As he walked away from the car an acorn fell and hit the roof, at which point the cop started shouting into his radio about shots fired and that he had been hit by gunfire, dove and rolled around a bit (nowhere near any actual cover), then unloaded the entire magazine of his pistol at his cruiser with the suspect locked inside it. Another officer on scene, reacting to the first one yelling that he'd been shot, also fired all of her ammo at the vehicle. None of the shots actually hit the handcuffed guy in the back seat.
A "thorough investigation of the incident" (including body camera footage from both officers involved which is now publicly available online) determined that the noise the first officer thought was a suppressed gunshot was, in fact, an acorn hitting the roof of the police vehicle after falling from the large oak tree it was parked next to. The acorn was still on the roof. Despite his panicked reaction and assertions otherwise it was also determined that he had not been struck by gunfire and that he was certainly the first person present to start shooting. The other officer was cleared of any wrongdoing as she was determined to have had legitimate reason to believe there was a clear and present danger. The first cop, who gave the second one that reason by freaking out over a fucking acorn, was determined to be whatever the official wording is for delusional, unstable, and dangerously incompetent and he resigned. In statements he still insisted after the fact that, while not disputing the findings of the review, he still recalls having heard a gunshot and feeling an impact to his torso.
As a tall person I can confirm that using a short girlfriend's head as an elbow rest is a gesture of affection. I also do this with platonic friends, to mixed results. My favorite recollection is walking up to a college friend on campus who was talking to someone else, she introduced me and I did the armrest thing while joining the conversation. After a minute the other person said "Um, are you gonna..." And my friend said "Nah, he'll get bored with it eventually and I'm used to it. I have a lot of tall friends."
Any result over 10 is better than "average" and means a typical person would more likely not notice someone with a 14. Such a result would be more like just a bit of armored elbow poking out from behind the tree. As the image shows, you may as well be saying that Formula One cars are slow because fighter jets exist.
One of my favorite characters of all time would default to using her mace to open locks if the rogue wasn't around.
The "twist" was pretty clearly telegraphed to anybody familiar with the genre, but the delivery was good and we didn't have to wait long to get there. Also the cleric and paladin were pretty on top of his smooth talking game, which explains him apparently deciding to just cut straight to the inevitable fight. Because it's pretty clear what bargain he's referring to. Well told and bravo, sir. Now let's see some holy butt kicking!
