I've liked many of Capstick's tales, both before and after my own trip to southern Africa.

Maybe the only one I think ill-advised is his story about hosing a troop of baboons one day in a palm grove, using some high-cap weapon like a Mac-10. It was clear in his telling of the story that he got off on how is was like combat or murder. Contrived by a man who was probably never close to either....
