There are some who say Quick black passes all the way through dry and out into problematic flow. I only have a few pens it gives trouble in, so I can't say I confirm this.

"Now that we're out of the smoking section of that airliner, take a minute to clear your lungs with deep breaths. HA! No, don't do that, the smog level is way too high, and a surprising amount of that smog is lead particles. Anyway, off to the restaurant, where even the waiter is smoking!"

Hey, Pete, a little friendly advice:

Try making the least possible effort.

I've heard that being able to comprehend others' viewpoints is a useful skill for a diplomat.

The subsequent reference to 1981 is a little mystifying? Getting pissy about the Guld of Sidra? Slightly increasing the number of "advisors" sent to El Salvador?

Shining moments in the US's history of armed prowess, to be sure.

The debut of Donkey Kong? Surely not.
