Me: "So the two of you are going to be walking down the street in
pumps and tutus?  But you, Bill, want to carry along your M-16, just
in case of trouble?"

Bill: "Sure.  We're registered mercs.  We're licensed."

Me: "Ohhhhkaaaaay.  You do realize that your license only applies to
using your weapons in performance of your contracted duty?"

Sue: "Yep.  We're not on duty.  Obviously.  But Bill here will only
shoot if he sees one of the enemy or something."

Me: "Riiiight.  Okay, then.  Are you walking or taking the bus?"

Bill: "I think we'll walk.  It's only . . . ."

As Bill drones on, I beginning contemplating how many gangers I should
have heckle them about their attire, once they're out of easy
turn-around distance.  And how well I should let said gangers be armed
and armored.  And what sort of response time I should give to the
local constabulary.
