When I was six, a teaching colleague of my grandmother's gave me the ten-volume set of Arthur Mee's Children's Encyclopedia from 1922.

"Gentlemen, I present for your edification the latest revised edition, showing the Rhineland under German occupation. Now, if there's no further business, we'll get this one off to printers."

The boyfriend really strikes a chord with anyone who's ever seen entitled douchebags in the films of the era. Don't know if they're going to be able to pull him back from that.

You weren't there, man. YOU WEREN'T THERE!!!
