Advice can be good. It can make a big impact when it’s wrapped in some kind of folksy story — just ask Ross Perot and Sarah Palin. Sometimes, though, you need to think about your folksy story ahead of time.

Overheard of the Week

On the street in Bethesda:

Two girls are walking and talking.

Girl: “Okay, if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck – it’s a duck. And if you don’t want it to be a duck, you should probably stop having sex with it.”

After the jump, interns (of course), snobbery, and Adams Morgan.
