Don't make me really mad by hedgeing your bets now Kosky! You're flirting with saying more than 3 days prep might be necessary. If you are wrong about y2k, the populace will be after you with the highest tech weapon of the 21st century...a pitchfork!

Isn't artfully crafted "truth" the hallmark of the entire administration?

Could this be considered 'read the fine print'?
