Two weeks at a Federalist retreat? Must be nice. Was it like summer camp?

Tarring and feathering satisified the phys ed requirment. Other classes included dodging responsibility and jumping to conclusions.

"Ha ha ha, Joey's out there picking watermelons." That's the punch line. If you haven't heard the joke, you don't want to.
