I would say ... that you know me quite well, and ... I'll just make it a decorative part of my MA Ambassador t-shirt (if you'll have me as one that is), and/or ... tell them I'm the new security recruit and I need a lot of practice to keep the wild ones in line ... even though the whip has your name on it. Either way, we eventually have a date at a convention.

It's been a long time Dear Marco ... hope all is well with you. One of these days I'll show up at a convention, but the question remains ... will I, or will I not get past security with the purple whip.
