Chaperones have been proven time and again to have no known effect, sis -- since I was about 12. Besides, it is not that kind of a gathering, as I understand it! :>

THe kind of place this is, according to my intelligence, is reflected in the following story which actually happened right outside of Ellensburg:

A farmer got pulled over by the Ellensburg Police for illegal lane change, and the cop started to lecture the farmer about his speed, and in general began to throw his weight around to try to make the farmer uncomfortable. Finally, the officer got around to writing out the ticket, and as he was doing that he kept swatting at some flies that were buzzing around his head. The farmer said, "Having some problems with circle flies there, are ya?" The officer stopped writing the ticket and said-"Well yeah, if that's what they are. But I've never heard of circle flies". So the farmer says "Well, circle flies are common on farms. See, they're called circle flies because they're almost always found circling around the rear end of a horse." The policeman says, "Oh," and goes back to writing the ticket. Then after a minute he stops and says, "Hey...wait a minute. Are you trying to call me a horse's ass?" The farmer says, "Oh no, officer. I have too much respect for police officers to even think about calling you a horse's ass." The officer says, "Well, that's a good thing," and goes back to writing the ticket. After a long pause, the farmer says, "Hard to fool them flies though."
