Why not two paragraphs?

Because the story is not about the quiz, it's not about the wonderful punchline. The story hangs on the punchline, but that's not what it's about.

So what is it about: 1) bartending in the an urban neighbourhood 2) personalities 3) male competition 4) and ultimately rites of passage, proving one's self.

It's a wild west story about two gunslingers. No one gets shot (down).
