Hobie, your Auntie CJ means well, but I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t want you to get into any sort of trouble tonight, if you know what I mean.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t worry, Dad, I won\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t be having sex tonight.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Not with Sarah, anyway,&#8221; CJ said, under her breath.<br \/>\n&#8220;What was that, CJ?&#8221; Mitch asked.<br \/>\n&#8220;I said, \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcIt is simply amazing what our government is able to perpetrate under the guise being the world\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s police force. Consider the situation in Iraq. Our nation forbids other nations from invading their neighbors, and yet we send troops halfway across the world and do the same thing, only we call it nation-building and a war on terrorism.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Oh,&#8221; Mitch said. &#8220;Because it sounded like you said \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcRot in Harrah\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s heyday.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;What on Earth does that mean?&#8221; CJ asked.<br \/>\n&#8220;I honestly don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know,&#8221; Mitch said. &#8220;That\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why I asked you.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Well, I don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t know. The two things don\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t sound a bit alike.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;I know,&#8221; Mitch said, confused. &#8220;This is very perplexing.&#8221;<br \/>\n&#8220;Yes, it is.&#8221;<br \/>\nBreaking up this verbal repartee was the doorbell; the savior of the uncomfortable, the destroyer of awkward situations.
