"Hey Loiuse, what were you discussing about with him just now?" asked Kebob.

"Oh, we were just talking about some world politics and the mindlessness of the MAD policy," replied Loiuse.

"MAD? What's that?"

"That's just an acronym for mutually assured destruction. It's a nuclear deterrent policy, where both sides have nuclear warheads pointed on all the important areas and structures of the opposite side. In case one side decides to be rash about it and starts launching it's nukes, the other side would retaliate with equally lethal power. Basically it relies on the premise that each side wouldn't want a nuclear wasteland as their backyard."

"That's mad!"

"Sheesh, Kebob! Of course it's MAD! What do you think I was blabbering about, Macs?"

"Geez, Louise! No need to get all fired up over it."
