    A bloke offered me a go on his air rifle, and suggested I should shoot it at some tiny pebbles that looked about 30 yards away.

    me: Thanks, what's your aimpoint for those pebbles?

    him: I have my scope queued in just right, so I can aim dead on for anything.

    me: OK, that sounds good (), what's your zero range? ().

    him: Every range.

    Funny that, the same bloke had an old BSA.. he'd dropped it in the road & smashed the scope cap onto the turret so hard you couldn't remove it without messing up his zero !!! Lol, the cap had collapsed and was turning the turret when you try to remove it.. I'd be worried about my zero from the fall rather than turning the turret!! the irony..

    Not shooting related but knew a plum who would come up with the most boring kind of 'impressive lies' .... e.g. as a student at Hull University, he used to get a round-trip on 'the ferry across to Norway' for the free breakfast. I asked him if bacon and eggs were really worth a 36 hour journey back and forth across the North Sea; he muttered something inaudible.
