AEC guy, “You’re a month overdue, you know!”
“How do YOU know?” stammers the young woman.

“GOD! This is too much.”
“Madam, I am sorry. I am following orders. I have to inform you are overdue.”

He calls home. "Dad," he says, "You won't believe what modern education isdeveloping! They actually have a program here in College Station that will teach our dog, Ol' Blue how to talk!"
