2 January 2006 - Weird escapes

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Smart: I’m surprised you got away. Did you notice they were discreetly recording everything?
Weird: Ha! I switched the surveillance tapes with Gilligan’s Island!
Smart: Mmm. Now tell me one I can believe.
Weird: I’ve always wanted to lead a life of secret danger, to fear the knock on the door at midnight, to flee endlessly, never knowing who is a true friend and who will betray me with a word, perhaps one day to be captured and never again see the light of civilized dawn.
Smart: You want to end up like Jose Padilla?
Weird: Yeah, but I won’t. Nothing normal ever happens to me.
