  1. Is the implication that the Frugal Traveler is getting laid tonight and he wants to teach Sasha what a necktie around the doorknob means? If so, then yes, that is a disturbing implication.

  2. Nathan–I’d say that the implication is that Matt got his Traveler Frugalled last night, and is worrying that he’s screwed up his kid for life.

    (And, yes, disturbing either way.)
