It happened again.
As always, it was the middle of the night and I was sound asleep. I was awakened by the sound of the bedroom window being opened and the clump of two feet hitting the floor. I felt the usual breeze on my face. My long-dead grandfather was paying me yet another visit.
"So, nu, where is it?" he yelled.
"Grandpa, is that you?" I asked.
"You were expecting maybe Chemical Ali?"
"Where's what?" I asked.
"The weapons from mass destruction. The chemical stuff and the biological stuff that could make you sick and the atomic stuff that could make you dead. Where are they, college boy? You wrote that this is why you supported the war."

Yup, gonna win those hearts and minds.
