"Hey dad, ya forgot ta fluch the nifong.."
"I smell something. OMG, I stepped in a big steaming pile of nifong.."
"Mr. Jones, the tests have come back positive. We're going to have to operate to remove that nifong from your anal sphincter...

Nicola Tesla? Brilliant inventor whose work still touches our lives to this day. What a legacy it would be to count him among one's ancestors. Mike Nifong? Raped justice in a spectacular manner and, like Monica Lewinsky, entered the public lexicon as a term for scorn. If I were one of his kids, I'd disown the son of a bitch and legally change my surname to that of my mother's maiden name.
