  Everyone jumped up and stretched and scattered themselves around the room.  "I gotta cawl my Chief Correspondent." 

  Outside, someone choking on a hardboiled egg.  A president giving the heimlich.  "I toll you not to pop those like candy!"  Pissed at more setbacks.  So smacking on back harder than necessary once the slimey egg projectiled out. 

  "Because."

  "Both.  But quick the Russians are waking up." 

  "We had seventeen frozen urethras.

  "Yeah, okay but 

  "No buts, no sorries 

  "But these homefield girls think they own their team captains." 

  "Okay, there she is, let me get her."

  The little thermometer blew in the wind as a basic fact reading started the work day.
