There's a tape right here in my desk drawer where you can distinctly, albeit softly, be heard intoning a series of non-invasive numbers. Only the most petulant of scorekeepers would think to hold it against you. It's true that I'm one of the few who is aware as to what brought you to that point. It's well known here in the Township that you made it a habit of scuttling to and fro without the required coverlet. Not even when you were in shouting distance could anyone lay the blame on your lying feet. Otherwise, your sandy-haired paramour would take to telling off-color jokes in front of the entire Auxiliary Department. Even then I knew that you had it coming. What I didn't know was how far you'd be willing to prance before the serious infestation really got underway. By which we in no way mean to offer you egress into a fantasy slalom of your own pitiful crevices. That would wait for another day. That day is now. You can do nothing.
