I guess if you had to sign that then the mooning has been postponed?
Well, I did manage a bit of a surreptitious semi-moon, but I don’t know if the olive-drab dipshits across the LINE OF DEATH noticed or not. We were told that the window ajar on the nearest guardpost to the observation pagoda thing indicated that they were watching/recording us, though, so perhaps I managed to offend someone.
