Moments before you expire, a civil servant, cleared to top
secret plus codeword level, appears and divulges a juicy state
secret to you.
Obviously, you've chosen from a menu of possible areas of

At least that's not something you'll ever have to worry about, [MB]. From what we've had the misfortune to observe of your family, the nearest analogy would be a pack of hungry jackals following an injured zebra foal. |

"Pop off" means to die right? I hope that means to die
and not something else. |

// a pack of hungry jackals following an injured zebra foal//
Pshaw. Buchanans are never hungry. |

It's an allegory ... you know what we mean, cold blooded, scaly skin, huge teeth, relative of crocodiles and cayman... |
