Swim across a river.

Run across highways.

Thank God we have a Federal Reserve bank that can print up all the unbacked, fiat, paper-money notes needed, and manipulate interest rates to Zero to support government spending and debt.

"The men need to stay in shape so they can chase down underage family members."

$400,000 to the beaucrat who talked some congress critter into this and $650 for the cell phone and the rest for pizza for the all night text session. This kind of stuff makes me crazy.
