Just then the president of the United States, knocked on your front door.
"Hello, my fellow American. I am awed by the bravery you have showed by resolving to leave the house in your socks, in spite of all the people who would have laughed at you. Not that we were watching you through your TV or anything. We don't do that. Nope. No way...
*Cough*
Anyway, I need a fearless soul like you as my new bodyguard. What'd ya say champ?"
