It's nice to see that Cheryl is finally opening up to the riffing-on-a-philosophical-concept style of discussion that passes for friendly banter in this strip. All it took was desperation, confusion, extreme exhaustion and some jackass making oblivious comments about a topic she takes seriously.

0521-------------------------------------
(Tuesday midday, INT: Capsaicin Lounge kitchen)
ChA: You do realize that "should be against the law" and "inherently wrong" are two very different things, right?
JH: And is it inherently wrong that that's the case?
--------------
ChA (frustrated): I... No. No it's not.
ChA: The job of the law is not to enforce morality, it's to preserve the fabric of society. There are lots of things that are wrong that aren't illegal and vice versa.
JH: Give me an example.
--------------
ChA: Lying. Most people, regardless of culture or religion or lack thereof would agree that lying is wrong. Yet, outside of perjury or obstruction or some sort of financial scam, if I tell you I had eggs for breakfast when I didn't, it's not a crime.
--------------
JH: Also it wouldn't work on me, because I happen to actually know what you had for breakfast.
ChA: The energy drinks don't count as breakfast if I didn't sleep beforehand.
