My wife has no appreciation

Just watched an episode of Penny Dreadful. It is set in Victorian England. A guy buys an “experimental” pistol that will .”stop an elephant”. It is a broom handle Mauser of course. I tell the wife that it wouldn’t stop an elephant but Churchill capped several natives with one and credited it with saving his life. (We just saw the new Churchill movie, very good). I went on to relate that he had hurt his shoulder playing polo and couldn’t use his Sabre, so in the last cavalry charge of the British army at Khartoum, he used a broom handle instead. The expedition was in retaliation for the maadi’s cutting off general Chinese Gordon’s head. She said “you’re making that up!”
