AT MILKY WAY COMMAND AND CONTROL


 

 
 
 
 

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!
