Even Thalia smiled at that. "And I need to use the dam restroom."
...

"I want to use the dam water fountain," Grover said.
"And..." Thalia tried to catch her breath. "I want to buy a dam t-shirt.”

So far, it's worked like gangbusters... And I've discovered that most people I'm afraid of are actually very friendly.”
