Another actual conversation:

Ellen, passing by as I watch an uber-cool documentary about a modern artillery competition*: "Ok, tell me again why they're shooting 105mm howitzers at station wagons?"

Scott: "..."

Ellen: "Because they can isn't an answer!"

Scott: "!!!"

Well, maybe I'll catch Olivia soon enough she'll understand.

No, I'm not holding my breath either.
