Overheard outside the Obama rally

Among the thousands-strong throngs of us who were left out of the packed Key Arena were two skinny black jeans-clad punk teenage girls. One of them was clearly still learning to smoke as she said...

"But you donot' know... he could turn out to be a pedophile, and you'd like have his name on your body forever."

"But he's NOT a pedophile."


-- I imagined that this was a conversation about getting an Obama tattoo.

Z points out that this conversation could (and should) happen whenever one considers getting a tattoo with a person's name on it. (Unless your last name is Gray, in which case something deeper than thought goes into it, clearly.)
