How do you live up to the headline? How can you live up to the headline?

My old friend and colleague Caleb loves this story, as his Twitter feed will swiftly make clear. He doesn’t want to find out the backstory to what happened, and neither do I.
I still have't clicked on the story. I'm too happy with the tweet. https://t.co/BigzxNCIM4

My wife did read this earlier, and she tried to tell me about it — but I had to shut her down on that. Sometimes, you just don’t want to have reality disappoint you. So… I guess a bad clickbait headline, that?
Can’t say as I blame you, but in this case, the backstory doesn’t disappoint.
