353. It is to laugh

Pete Strodenmire and Red Webster can hardly contain their levity. And who could blame them? Tinker just said “A polar bear fell on me”! That’s objectively hilarious. Oh, sure, they just shot to death their nemesis of many years and are standing just feet away from his bullet-ridden corpse, one of five dead bodies currently festooning the property. And if they hadn’t opened fire, that man would likely have killed their friend Dalton, and quite possibly Dalton’s girlfriend and the dead man’s ex-wife Dr. Elizabeth Clay as well. And had that happened, it’s hard to imagine the blood-dimmed tide that would have swallowed Jasper, Missouri, as Brad Wesley used the fortune amassed from his commercial ventures to hire a new army of goons and seek vengeance on all those who aligned themselves against him. Pete and Red stood on a knife’s edge of carnage and did what needed to be done to prevent from tilting over into oblivion. This happened about ninety seconds ago. But now? Tinker said “A polar bear fell on me.” Ya gotta laugh!
