I'm going to start dropping it into every conversation so that people will know I'm a Very Serious Person.

"So, were you boinking your secretary?" "I'm sorry, I can't discuss that. It's a matter of National Security."

"How did my bloodwork come out?" "We can't tell you. It's a matter of National Security."

"Why was my FOIA request denied?" "It was for National Security reasons."

"Did you eat up all the beef jerky?" "Sorry, Dad. National Security, you know."
