You have all these different slices of Swiss cheese lined up. All the holes are randomly placed. The slices are randomly selected. Each slice is 90 percent solid and 10 percent hole. The thing you're trying to prevent has a ten percent chance, upon encountering each slice, of getting past that slice.

What is the one thing they have in common, the one-in-ten million coincidence?

There are some 450 varieties of cheese made in Switzerland alone.

Are we talking about Berner Alpkäse? Perhaps Emmentaler?

Or something a little off the beaten path, like Schabziger or Tilsiter?

Maybe instead, one can go with Appenzeller or a bit of Raclette and a decent fondue?

What use is creating a Space Farce if you can't even test citizens adequately?

tRump created the Trump Catastrophe by failing to defend American lives.
