Overheard at the Office

WML: Want to hear a conspiracy?

WMC: From you? I expect nothing less.

WML: They're going to announce Saddam's verdict next week. My guess, they'll do it Monday night, give him a death penalty - just in time for the election.

WMC: Oh, I like that. But to get the proper impact, they'll have to catch somebody too.

WML: [drawing a blank, snapping fingers] Oh, oh, uh, that tall guy.

WMC: John Kerry?

WML: No, no... no. Um...

WMC: Osama?

WML: Ya, they'll pull him out of a hole.

WMC: Sorry, I get the two confused. They both say the same things.
