In the olden day’s, during the western expansion, settlers would arrive to camp late, (usually in the dark) and throw the first log they could on the fire. After sippin whiskey, campers would fall asleep by the fire. Come morning, the lonely men would wake up with a terrible cough from the moss and fungus on the log they had burned the night before.
Wow bro, you don’t look so good after that one night stand. Looks like you slept next to a punky log.
