President Obama Sent Me a Box of Chocolates.

I opened it and ate one.

It had a fucking coconut center. I hate coconut! I threw the whole box in the garbage can.

Obama has lost my vote in 2016, damn it! Coconut! I wanted a vanilla creme center.

Now, I'm going to bed to sulk. My day is ruined.

You're probably right about the NSA knowing about your coconut/gas problems. It's pretty apparent that Agent Mike turned us all in and we are all being monitored, since DU is such an important political force. I'd FOIA my NSA file, but it would be all Magic Marker, anyway.
