The Case of Fred
I have some very busy friends. Fred was so busy with meetings and public appearances that he has a clone of himself made to attend meetings – but there was a flaw. The clone had a potty mouth. It was causing real problems. Fred could not convince the clone to change.
One day he arranged a meeting with Fred 2 on the roof of his corporate headquarters.
Fred 2 started mouthing off to Fred using the filthiest language Fred had ever heard. Fred became enraged with frustration and, in an infuriated burst of anger, pushed Fred 2 so hard that he was ejected from the building and fell to his death.
The next day they arrested Fred. There was no statute on the books covering homicide of that sort, so they made up a charge …
Making an obscene clone fall.
Pardon Me
Nixon, after accidentally bumping into VP in the hall:
"Pardon me."
Ford:
"No problem."
Then he did.
Historical perspective with a dash of fiction.
And now you know … The Rest of the Story.
