Mulla was at a party where everyone was bragging about their athletic feats. Not wanting to be left out, Mulla said, "Back in the day, I was an incredible horseman. Once, they brought this wild, untamed stallion to the town square. Anyone who got near it got kicked across the street. But me? I rolled up my sleeves, walked right into the ring, and circled it." Just then, two of Mulla's old friends walked into the party. Knowing they would call his bluff, Mulla quickly finished his story: "...but no matter how much pep talk I gave myself, I never actually found the guts to get close to the thing."
