I Know What my People are Thinking Tonight:
A Survey of the Thoughts Recorded at 10:37:52 PM (Eastern Standard Time),
January 22, 2001, in the Zip Code 10458, Bronx, New York
CP

(The results may not add up to 100%. It’s not our fault. We know what’s going on. Results have been measured by weight, not volume, and people can think of more than one thing in one second, and of more than one thing at once. The problem is that the results have been subjected to the witch-doctoring of our overpaid statisticians, who we only keep around thanks to the legal department’s antiquated concern with the meddling of those fossilized ACLU bastards. We think that they’re really conspiring to keep their jobs, like those guys who show up to fix something in your house, and end up breaking two other things that can only be repaired by their union brethren, who will, in turn, break something else, twice, not flush the toilet, and leave cigarette butts in the sink, etc.)
