Of course, it wouldn&#8217;t have been quite as interesting if you had done it in the states, right? Oh, well, you get to pamper yourself for a few days, and then you&#8217;ll be back to roaming the streets again, I&#8217;m sure. Keep writing, dear one.

Police did the same thing (with placebos) in a survey and 86% of potential victims took the pill.
