News, but not the serious kind

George, I brought you a special gift. Italy’s greatest piece of literature, “The Divine Comedy.”

Hey thanks, Silvio! I love comedies. I’ll read it during the meeting this afternoon.

Um, it’s not really a comedy, George. It’s all about different sections of  Hell, and what politicians are there.

Politicians in Hell? It can’t be a true story!

It’s an allegory, George.

Oh, man, I hear you. My allegories start up every spring, as soon as that pollen hits the air.

Oh George, you fooled me again!

Thanks, you’ve been a wonderful audience. I’ll be here until January 20!

Improve your hearing. Join the Oddly Enough blog network!

One comment so far

“That? Oh, that’s my ‘to do’ list before January. Laura keeps telling me that naps don’t really count but the only other thing I keep hearing is everyone whispering about a lame duck running around the White House. I’m not supposed to handle those things, am I?”
