Nothing You Say Matters

by Cam Nelson

The Department of Agriculture showed up at my door and asked about what they referred to as my "delinquency." I told them I was a little old to be delinquent. They told me I was in serious trouble. They showed me paperwork I didn't understand, and told me I was 46, which was off by two years, and told me I wasn't too old to be delinquent. I told them I was 48 and asked if that was too old to be delinquent. They became confused and left abruptly, but then I got a call that night, and they left a message saying they'd be back with different people and different paperwork.
