Giving Credit Where It Is Due

I was working as the hired muscle for this move, and saw the whole thing. If you've never been around during a life-defining moment, let me tell you, when it happens, you know it, at once, then and there, things will never be the same again: There's a chill in the air that no amount of sunlight can dispel; food tastes like ashes in your mouth; the world reeks of rot; and the birds sing a neverending tune of injustice. The beer's still good and cold -- no call for alarm, there, but that's beside the point. The point is, you're involved in a Pick Your Side moment and you know it.

Looking back on it -- no offense, Law Guy -- I should've sided with the Man.
