When I was younger I wanted to get a speeding ticket on my bicycle. I saw my chance - a cop at the bottom of a hill in a 25 mph zone. I zipped past him doing almost 40. I stopped and waited for him. He just shook his head- not dealing with your bs today, kid.

I hear a faint buzzing in my sock drawer. I instantly recognize the number on the forgotten Motorola pager. After 25 years, George Stephanopoulos has summoned me again. Gennifer Flowers and Bill Clinton are back together, and George needs my help distracting Hillary.
I put on Brute cologne.
