I enter the Russian dorm for a surprise inspection. I find the six exchange students all in the common area. Some are watching TV. Others are doing homework. All are in various states of dress . . . or undress.
"Hello ladies. It's time for your surprise inspection!"
I announce as I walk into the dorm without warning.
"I'm here to make sure that you are taking care of Éfivi property and that there is no damage or contraband. That means, stuff you shouldn't have. So I'm giving you each this one chance to tell me if I'm going to find anything here that I shouldn't."
