Taxpayer money at work…

Thank-you, you put it into words much better than I could.

No arguments from me there. I was saying when I was a kid if I had done something like that (and got caught) it wouldn’t have been a gentle, loving conversation about why it was wrong I’d have gotten. I certainly wasn’t advocating it.

Parents have a way of knowing shit like that, believe me. It certainly wouldn’t be a risk I’d needlessly take; that’s for sure.

My parents would have beat my ass if I did something like that. That was a pretty good deterrent.

Correct.

She was the best ally to bring out with you. She never missed!

How much money was wasted on this pointless endeavour?

Given the choice I’d rather get kicked only once in the nuts instead of twice; the ideal would be no nut kicks at all though.
