, I screwed up, it is FLL. My fingers were walking faster than the brain was working. I'm not really sure of this statement "If you tell us, you'll have to kill us?"

It's a joke...apologies...it's a cultural reference...

"Often heard in settings related to espionage and high security levels, the phrase "I'd tell you, but then I'd have to kill you" is itself probably a Dead Horse Trope by this point - whether for a serious straight use or not.

Nowadays used much more tongue in cheek to poke fun at stern security protocols and classification, it has started to show signs of decay since it's hard to pass off a Stock Phrase as an original joke. Instead it's more common to get it as one characters joke to another, perhaps to demonstrate that character's lack of regard to the rigmarole of secrecy or mockery of the other character's clearance/understanding."

It's just that I don't understand your use of initials as opposed to just posting the person's name.

What you say has a ring of credibility…although a very low ring…however it does have a ring to it.

Would I love to parse and add some emoticons to WM’s post.

Thanks for the laugh!

It is a good question. I wondered about this quote after the shooting of Congresswomen Gifford.

"The women became close friends while they were all serving in the House. Their professional bond turned personal, with Giffords and her husband going on double-dates with Gillibrand and her husband at Matchbox, one of their favorite Washington restaurants, and taking summer vacations to New Hampshire with Wasserman Schultz's family. "

from this article..

I wondered maybe if the Wasserman/Schultz family, like Romney had a place around the lake somewhere. Never did find out.

No worries. And no reason to explain it - I'm sure most of here are old enough to have heard that saying more than once...

The initials "FLL" are in reference to our notorious Fatlazyless - a fellow poster here on winni dot com. It's an inside joke, I suppose, and seeing as you're fairly new here on the forum it's understandable you wouldn't get an inside joke like that... no worries.

And welcome aboard!
