Is the secret "ridiculous D&D takes"? bc that's what I'm here for

Ah, going out on the boat. It's like driving around an empty parking lot, but somehow also significantly more expensive.

My wife said "oh, I want to go on a road trip through New Zealand. But can I do it without someone chasing me?"
