Case #51: Video

[19centconstable]

[George sits at the small table in his room, and holds a pile of papers in his hands, like a newscaster.]

I seem to have spent the recent weekend writing jokes for a vaudeville act. I can't say that I understand them now that I have come back to myself.

Is anyone aware: what is the "deal" with air-plane food?

With the rising cost of airline add-ons, it's no deal at all!

[Eh? EH? Leslie is going to go ahead and grin at her great joke.]

[19centconstable]

Aha! Now I get it!

...If indeed that sort of travel does become terribly expensive. But then wait: why not simply take the train?

[lesliemonster]

I love trains possibly more than the next person, but they take such a long time. A plane out of Pawnee airport will get me to Chicago in under an hour.

[19centconstable]

And that's quite fast?

[lesliemonster]

Of course!

I would give a Canadian translation, but I do not know any.

[19centconstable]

We do speak mainly English.

[lesliemonster]

Really?

Our countries have so much to learn from each other.

[100% without sarcasm, too.]

[19centconstable]

From each other. Yes. Perhaps.

[No, America, no.]

[lesliemonster]

[How dare you.]
