M; -smiffles- sorry, sorry....
I; It's quite alright. Where were we... oh, yes... the mysterious wrinkling of the shirt. So, does this happen to all people in america, or just you?
M; I dont know, maybe the wrinkle gremlins are after me. I honestly never meant to do anything to them.
I; wrinkle gremlins, boy you have yourself in a more serious situation than I originally thought.
