Go for it.

Me personally?  Funny you should ask.  Last year I was part of the task team
that returned something more than $24 million in public funds stolen from
the people of Nicaragua.  This year I helped return $76 million to
Guatemala.  Just last week, I assisted the Craiova, Romania Organized Crime
Unit in the return of personal property obtained through internet fraud by
some of their citizens.  I also participate in international symposiums on
money laundering.  A couple years ago, I helped recover the proceeds of a
bank robbery in Nassau.  You know, just doing my job the best I can.

By the way, neither of my blue passports is an accident.  One of them comes
from careful planning my ancestors.  They were some of the first to settle
in what is now the U.S.  Some of my other ancestors met them when they
arrived.  My other blue passport is even less of an accident.  It's issued
only to those authorized to travel on official business, in some cases,
business that actually benefits the countries I visit.  Imagine that.

Your turn.  What have you done . . . personally . . . Sunshine?
