Easily amused
My aunt and uncle are good Labour Party members in Ireland. On the political spectrum, it’s pretty darn close to the Left of the ALP, so when Mick and Claire visited we had some good discussions about politics. They told me quite a bit about their local Teachta Dála, Michael D Higgins.
It turns out that Sunili’s boyfriend, who is on student exchange in Dublin, is currently doing an internship at the Dáil — for Michael D. Small world, and all that. Anyway, the point of this post is to share a report from his internship:

Forei’n'icationeveryone cracked up laughing

He said “Fornication”.
Heh.
