Haha. I actually know Chuck Wendig. I met him at a writers conference in August and we hung out for a bit. He gave me some of the best advice for success.

One wonders how come the police inside the truck happened to have an appropriate water-pistol to respond with...

What are the odds that the adorable moppet in the image wasn't the first to have the idea of squirting the water-cannon truck with a squirt gun?

Suppose they'd been coming to the park for various events for a long time, and seen a bunch of adorable, completely non-threatening moppets with squirt guns?

I figure it's entirely reasonable for an officer to bring along a squirt pistol for a "proportionate response." Many officers are parents, or remember being children...

Well, obviously. If you're gonna face off against a tornado, you need TWO pairs of nunchucks.

How many nuns could a nunchuck chuck if a nunchuck could chuck nuns?
