[There is a teenage girl shackled theatrically to a big cheap fold-out table near the mess hall, accompanied by a selection of giant sno-balls for your delectation. She's drumming her nails against the speckled surface and looking an awful lot like she wouldn't mind shredding the big white fold-out sign in front of her, with red sparkly letters

I can't eat those anymore.

[misswexler]

You ate those in the first place?

[asterisking]

I wanted to see how many I could eat before I threw up.

[misswexler]

And?

[asterisking]

I got up to eight. And now I can't eat them anymore.

[misswexler]

What's stopping you?

[asterisking]

Just the sight of them gets me sick to my stomach.

[misswexler]

[politely nudges the sign a little further over in front of them]

[asterisking]

Thanks.

[misswexler]

I'd dump them, but I'm afraid of retribution.

[asterisking]

Camp is camp.

[misswexler]

I'm beginning to think that's the catchphrase.

[asterisking]

It probably is.

[misswexler]

How long have you been here?

[asterisking]

A year.

[misswexler]

Mind if I ask you a few questions?
