Yesterday, I went to the post office to mail a parcel. Another customer remarked upon my pendant, wondering "what kind of a ring is around your neck?" I replied that it was a bronze Viking artifact; a piece of jerkin armor that was worn en masse to deflect sword blades and it was appropriately one thousand years old. She scoffed, replying "Liar. They didn't have metal then. It wasn't even invented yet."😳 Ancestors, give me strength.
