FRONT DESK:
Hello, may I help you? Yes, this is ASTEROID CENTRAL of the MILKY
WAY COMMAND AND CONTROL.
CALLER:
Yes, I need to speak with the Commander of Hemorrhoids...I
mean Asteroids.
FRONT DESK:
Sir, Commander Bush is in a post-asteroid
flyby meeting. Yes, the meeting is about
asteroid 2012 DA14.
CALLER:
O.K.
I’ll call later.
*
COMMANDER BUSH:
FRONT DESK…no more calls this week. It will be total “radio silence” on all asteroids.
FRONT DESK:
Yes sir.
Oh, and sir, Mr. Dick is waiting in your limousine, ready for the
post-asteroid flyby meeting.
COMMANDER BUSH:
Thank you.
Tell him I’m on my way.
*
(A
sliding door of a black, bullet-proof limousine opens, and Commander Bush gets
in.)
DICK:
Hello Commander. How’s the ranch?
COMMANDER BUSH:
Great.
How’s the heart?
DICK:
It’s still ticking.
COMMANDER BUSH:
Not a time bomb, I hope.
(Bush laughs loudly. Dick doesn’t.)
DICK:
Well, you handled the space rock flyby quite
well. And the beam over Russia simulating
a meteor was a nice touch!
COMMANDER BUSH:
Yes.
It’s going better than 9/11.
DICK:
Quack.
COMMANDER BUSH:
We’ll gradually increase the number of
close-calls, scaring the hell out of the world.
DICK:
Quack.
COMMANDER BUSH:
We should be back in the saddle by 2016.
DICK:
Quack.
COMMANDER BUSH:
FRONT DESK…Get Rove on the phone. No, don’t
call him Turd Blossom…and don’t tell him his “old brain” is on the phone!
IT’S ABOUT RENEWABLE RESOURCES!
