the most surprising thing i've ever heard

"Heelers."
"Yes."
"Colonel Baines here."
"Oh."
"Just wanted to say you're probably right about the Egyptian situation."
"Wha-a-a-a-a-a-t!"
"You seem surprised."
"Stunned is the word. I mean you've never admitted I was right about anything."
"Don't get me wrong. Your blog is still hideous. But you're probably right about El Sissi. I don't think the Egyptian army would have done any of this without being fairly sure the people were behind them."
