Silly Dialogue, Opus No. 1

(for WTO protest)

Gerald: So, tell me, do you think that the process leading up to this conference was at all fair?

Hoover: Well, everyone was quite pleasant with me when I ordered my first-class
airplane tickets. Or, at least, my secretary was fair when I asked her to order them.

Gerald: I mean, the whole process, from beginning to end, do you think it was fair? The secret negotiations, that whole special-invite only "green room" thing, do you
think it was done democratically?

Hoover: She requisitioned a set of tickets for myself and my spouse (drat), so that we might mosey on out here And of course everyone in the airport was their most performed pleasant, exceptionally so, in fact! I even tipped the somewhat adequately-paid young individual to help me with my bags, they were so obliging.

Gerald: That must mean that you're surprised that there has been very little consensus reached among the parties. I mean, even those who HAVE been invited into the
hush-hush negotiations have stated that there is little agreement within those
negotiations.

Hoover: But, and don't tell anybody this, but I cannot STAND traveling with my spouse.
They're always complaining about SOMETHING! This time, they kept asking when our latest stocks were going to go up, and all I could do was ask, "Can you pass, in a gracious and timely manner, the complimentary Hairy Buffalo?"

Gerald: So, you don't find it to be at all insane or strange, let alone unfair, that the countries that have been screwed since the advent of colonialism are still, in a word, fucked?

Hoover: No, not particularly.
